Urine's specific gravity, which is somewhat greater than that of water, is a crucial physical property.

Characteristics of urine:

  • Osmolarity is typically harder to quantify than specific gravity, which measures the amount of solutes per volume of a solution. Because there are solutes in urine, its specific gravity is always higher than that of pure water (water = 1.0). Since specific gravity is a less precise predictor of urinary solutes, laboratories may now directly detect the osmolarity of urine.
  • Osmolarity, or mOsmol/L, is the measure of how many osmoles or milliosmoles are present in a litre of a fluid. The osmolarity of urine can range from 50 to 100 to 1200 mOsmol/L of water.

Therefore, it is concluded that the correct solution is an option (D), i.e., slightly higher than water.

The complete question is:

An important characteristic of urine is its specific gravity or density, which is ________.

A. the same as water

B. less than water

C. much higher than water

D. slightly higher than water
