Definition
relational quality of a solution that is the amount of osmotically active solute entities in that solution per unit volume of that solution
Explanatory Notes
Osmolarity is a colligative property in the sense that it depends primarily on the number of dissolved particles (osmotically active entities) rather than their chemical identity; it expresses this particle concentration on a volume-of-solution basis (i.e., osmoles of solute per liter of solution)
Examples
- the osmolarity of a cell culture medium after concentrated feed addition; the osmolarity of a buffer solution after salt addition; the osmolarity of a liquid drug product formulation adjusted using excipients;

Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
Osmolarity(x) → RelationalQuality(x) ∧ ∃s (Solution(s) ∧ qualityOf(x, s))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is an ‘osmolarity’ then x is a ‘relational quality’ that is the ‘quality of’ some ‘solution’
