Specific gravity =
grams/mL but is unitless
specific gravity is equivalent to what
density, but density has units (g/mL)
Define osmolarity
the measure of total number of particles (or solutes) per liter of solution, defines as osmoles/liter. solutes can either be ionic (such as NaCl, which dissociates into two solutes insolution, Na and Cl) or non-ionic, which do not dissociate (such as glucose and urea)
mOsmol/L =
wt of substance (g/L) / MW (g/mole) x (# of particles) x1,000
