To calculate the osmolarity of a 5.5% glucose solution, first convert the percentage to grams per liter: 5.5% means 5.5 grams of glucose per 100 mL, which is 55 grams per liter. Glucose (C6H12O6) has a molar mass of approximately 180 g/mol, so 55 grams corresponds to about 0.306 moles per liter (55 g / 180 g/mol). Since glucose does not dissociate in solution, the osmolarity is equal to its molarity, which is approximately 0.306 osmoles per liter.
