OsmolarityOsmolarity is total no. of osmotically active solute particles (the
particles which attract water to it) per 1 L of solvent - Osm/L.

Tendency of water to move passively, across a

semi-permeable membrane, separating two fluids
of different osmolarity is referred to as `Osmosis'.
Osmotic Pressure
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Osmotic pressure is the pressure, applied to stop the flow of
solvent molecules from low osmolarity to a compartment of high

osmolarity, separated through a semi-permeable membrane.Normal osmolality of the ECF and ICF
