Expert Solution
Step 1

Molarity represents the number of solutes present in one liter of solution. Osmolarity is the number of osmoles present in the one-liter solution. It is the summation of molarity of each solute in the solution.

Molarity=nVOsmolarity=Each soluteMolarity×n

Where is the number of solutes and is the volume.
