Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmolality is the measure of solute concentration in a solution, specifically the number of particles per unit of water, expressed as milliosmoles per kilogram of water (mOsm/kg). Osmolarity is a similar measure, but it is expressed as milliosmoles per liter of solution. Osmotic pressure refers to the pressure required to prevent the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane due to differences in solute concentration. Effective osmolality takes into account the permeability of the solute across the cell membrane.
