English term or phrase: Osmolality
Osmolality of body fluid is a measure of its solute/water ratio. The osmolality of serum, urine, or other body fluids depends on the number of osmotically active ions and molecules dissolved in a kilogram of body water. Sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, glucose and urea are the osmotically important body fluid solutes. The osmolality of a body fluid increases as the ratio of solute to water molecules increases.

Latvian translation:Osmotiskā koncentrācija
Explanation:
Osmotiskā koncentrācija: visu molekulu un jonu kopskaits šķidruma tilpuma vienībā. Daļiņu skaitu izsaka osmolos. Cilvēka ekstracelulāro un intracelulāro šķīdumu osmolālā koncentrācija ir aptuveni 280 mOsm/kg ūdens.

Osmotiskā koncentrācija: visu molekulu un jonu kopskaits šķidruma tilpuma vienībā. Daļiņu skaitu izsaka osmolos. Cilvēka ekstracelulāro un intracelulāro šķīdumu osmolālā koncentrācija ir aptuveni 280 mOsm/kg ūdens.

Example sentence(s):
  • Urīna osmotiskā koncentrācija - ap 600 mosm/l
  • Kartupeļa masa osmozes laikā mainījās, jo, ja kartupeļa šūnu osmotiskā koncentrācija nesakrīt ar šķīduma koncentrācija, notiek osmoze, tā kā šķīduma koncentrācija ir lielāka otrajā un trešajā gadījumā, ūdens tika „izvilkts”

osmolality
osmolalitāte


Explanation:
Osmolalitāte un osmolaritāte (osmolarity and osmolality) nav gluži viens un tas pats.

Units of Concentration: Osmolarity and Osmolality

Osmolarity
Osmolarity is defined as the number of osmoles of solute per liter (L) of solution. It is expressed in terms of osmol/L or Osm/L.
A 1 mol/L NaCl solution has an osmolarity of 2 osmol/L. A mole of NaCl dissociates fully in water to yield two moles of particles: Na+ ions and Cl- ions. Each mole of NaCl becomes two osmoles in solution.

Osmolality
Osmolality is defined as the number of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent. It is expressed in terms of osmol/kg or Osm/kg.

Organismam ir svarīgi saglabāt normālu asins osmolalitāti (280 mosm/kg H2O)
