What is the osmolarity of a solution that has 1 mole of glucose 1 mole of sodium and 1 mole of chloride?

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 --> GlucoseNaCl --> 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.


An unknown compound dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity?

If a compound dissolves into water and allows for the conductance of electrical current its said to be ionic and an electrolyte. Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt exhibits this property. Sugar is a compound that will dissolve in water but not conduct current. Sugar is not an electrolyte or ionic; rather a covalent molecule.

Is saltwater a suspension?

No. Saltwater is a solution, salt is dissolved into the water. The salt will remain dissolved in the water until some force like evaporation is acted upon it. That being said, at some point the water will dissolve the maximum amount of salt possible and any additional salt undissolved salt would then fall to the bottom based on the size and mass of each particle while some of the smaller, lighter particles remaining may become "suspended."
