A red blood cell will swell up and burst when placed in a solution that is: isot

Question

A red blood cell will swell up and burst when placed in a solution that is:
isotonic
hypertonic
hypoosmotic
hypotonic

According to Raoult's law, which statement is false?
The vapor pressure of a solvent over a solution is less than that of pure solvent.
The solubility of a gas increases as the temperature decreases.
The greater the pressure of a gas over a solution the greater its solubility.
Ionic solutes dissociate in solution causing an enhancement of all colligative properties.
The vapor pressure of a solvent over a solution decreases as its mole fraction increases.

Explanation / Answer

A/c to Osmosis, in hypnotic solutions, swelling and even bursting of red blood cells will occur.

2. Option C, solubility of gas is directly proportional to pressure is Henry's law statement. Hence it is wrong.
