Chemistry what is hypertonic solution? Asked by bookragstutor 13 years ago 8/20/2012 9:52 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 12/10/2012 9:21 PM
A hypertonic solution is where the concentration of solutes is greater on one side or the other of a cell (inside versus outside). Since the cell tries to keep a balance of pressures, this inbalance causes osmotic pressure to build.
