A)osmolarity.
B)tonicity.
C)salinity.
D)specific gravity.
E)density.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total solute concentration of a solution is referred to as its osmolarity. This is a measure of the number of particles in a solution and is expressed in units of osmoles per liter (osmol/L).

Answer: C
 Salinity refers to the concentration of dissolved salts in a solution, typically in seawater.

Answer: D
 Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a solution relative to the density of water.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
