Is it possible for a solution to be both hypertonic and hypotonic? Why or Why not?
Yes, it is dependent on the other thing (organism/solution) it is added against.
If your specified solution is added against something that has a lower water concentration, then it is hypotonic.
If your same solution is added against something that has a higher water concentration, then it is hypertonic
