What does OSMOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistrymedical
A unit of measurement for the number of dissolved particles in a solution, used to gauge its osmotic pressure; a variant spelling of osmole.
Doctors and laboratory scientists use the osmol to count how many particles, such as ions or whole molecules, are dissolved in a fluid, since this number determines how strongly water will move across a membrane toward or away from that fluid. Blood tests reporting a patient's osmolality are built from measurements expressed in osmol per kilogram of solvent. The spelling osmole is at least as common as osmol for the same unit.
How OSMOL is used
A specialist term used in chemistry and clinical medicine when discussing the concentration of dissolved particles in body fluids.
- The lab reported the blood sample's concentration in osmol per litre.
- One osmol of glucose behaves differently in solution than one osmol of salt.
- The textbook defined an osmol before explaining osmotic pressure.
- Doctors calculated the fluid's osmol content before starting treatment.
- A rise in osmol level in the blood can signal dehydration.
