Best Answer

Osmolarity is defined as the # of particles in solution.

A rule to keep in mind is likes dissolve likes. So a covalently bonded substance like oil will only dissolve in a covalent solution. Same for polar substances etc.

That said, glucose being covalent, will NOT dissolve in water, while the ionic compound NaCl will.

The result is:

Glucose --> Glucose

NaCl --> Na+ and Cl- (Both are ions)

By the definition of osmolarity, glucose only produces 1 mol of particles, while NaCl produces 2. Those two numbers are their respective osmolarities.

0.9 sodium chloride solution is isotonic with extacellular and intracellular fluid what does isotonic mean?

Isotonic means that the fluid has the same osmolarity as blood plasma - in the case of 0.9% sodium chloride, it means that this fluid has the same concentration of salt as blood plasma has.
