What is the difference between “molarity” and “osmolarity”?

molarity applies only to covalent compounds while osmolarity applies only to ionic compounds.
osmolarity is molarity multiplied by two.
the molarity and osmolarity of a solution is the same for dissolved ionic compounds, but are different for dissolved covalent compounds.
osmolarity refers to the concentration of dissolved particles in a solution which may not be the same as the number of moles of substance that was dissolved per litre of solution.
