Hypotonic Solution

Definition:
-Hypotonic solution is defined as solution which has lower solute concentration compared to another solution.

-With respect to the osmotic pressure, Hypotonic solution is defined as the have low osmotic pressure.

-Hypotonic solution is the comparison of the concentration of solute with respect to the other solution.

-The solvent moves into the hypotonic solution. 

Diagram of Hypotonic Solution movement:

Hypotonic Solution movement



Here the B side is the hypotonic (The concentration of the solute is lower) Solution which has low concentration of solute than the Side A.So the solvent molecule move towards the hypotonic solution (B) till the concentration of both sides is equal.
