Q

What is molarity and osmolarity and the differences?

A

Molarity: number of mole of solute particles

Osmolarity: number of osmoles of solute particles

Example:

1mole glucose = 1 osmole ( no dissociation)

1mole NaCl = 2 osmole ( dissociation into: Na, Cl)

When a compound cannot be dissociate, then osmolarity and molarity of that compound will be similar, vice versa
