Osmotic activity is a function of:
A. Electrolytes only.
B. Nonelectrolytes only.
C. The total number of particles present in solution.
D. None of the above.
Osmotic activity is a function of the total number of particles present in a given solution. These particles can be electrolytes or nonelectrolytes. Electrolytes usually will dissociate into their component ions increasing the number of particles in a solution.
