Well, I rarely use these definitions.......

...but in the context is not the $"osmolarity"$ of sucrose equivalent to its $"molarity"$ ...?

Sucrose is a molecular species that does not undergo speciation in solution, and so.......

$"Osmolarity"="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"=((171*g)/(342.30*g*mol^-1))/(1.0*L)=1/2*mol*L^-1$

What is "osmolarity""osmolarity" of a 171*g171*g mass of sucrose in a 1*L1*L volume of aqueous solution?
