To determine whether a solution is isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic, we need to compare the concentrations of solutes in the two solutions. In this case, we are comparing a 0.10M NaCl solution to a 0.10M glucose solution.

First, let's define what each term means:

1. Isotonic: Two solutions have the same concentration of solutes. There is no net movement of water across the cell membrane.

2. Hypotonic: The concentration of solutes is lower in one solution compared to the other. Water will move into the cell, causing it to swell or burst.

3. Hypertonic: The concentration of solutes is higher in one solution compared to the other. Water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink or shrivel.

To determine the answer, we need to compare the concentration of NaCl to the concentration of glucose. Since both the NaCl and glucose solutions have a concentration of 0.10M, they are isotonic.

Therefore, a 0.10M NaCl solution is isotonic to a 0.10M glucose solution.
