Concept introduction:

The concentration of a solution that contributes to the osmotic pressure, which is expressed in osmoles of solute per liter of solution.

An osmole is defined as 1 mol of particles that contribute toward the osmotic pressure of the solution.

Osmolarity of a solution is obtained by multiplying the molarity with the number of osmoles produced by the solute of the solution.

It is donated by the unit osmole.
