L'osmolarité est définie comme le nombre de particules osmotiquement actives par litre de solution, c'est-à-dire, plus exactement, le nombre de moles en solution qui interviennent dans la pression osmotique s'exerçant sur une membrane lorsque le phénomène d'osmose se produit. C'est donc une grandeur qui intervient dans la définition de la pression osmotique. Elle se mesure en osmole par litre [de solution]. 4, record 1, French, - osmolarit%C3%A9
