"Osmolarity is the measure of solute concentration, defined as the number of osmoles of solute per liter of solution (osmol/L). "

 

but osmole mean particles that contribute to osmotic pressue. Meaning non permeable particles

 

But osmolarity measures non permeable and permeable particles

 

So is this definition wrong. Thank you :)
