Q

What is the difference betweem mEq/L (mOsm/L) and mmol/L of plasma electrolytes

A

mEq/L or mOsm/L takes charge into account. SO its measuring osmoles of particles.

Q

What is Osmolarity?

A

Distinct from molarity. It measures osmoles of solute particles rather than mole of solute. The distinction is made when the compound can dissociate in solution (H2O)

Q

What is Osmole?

A

A unit of osmotic pressure equivalent to the amount of solute that dissociate in solution to form one mole of particles

1 mole NaCl=2 osmole because when NaCl is dissociated in solution (H2O) it becomes 1 osmole of Na and 1 osmole of Cl (2 osmole)
