What would happen if the inside solution of a cell is isotonic as well as the solution outside of it?

When a red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water. Both the concentration of solute and water are equal both intracellularly and extracellularly; therefore, there will be no net movement of water towards the solution or the cell.
