Answer: Check explanation please.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before diving into the question,let us consider some important facts and definitions.

WHAT IS OSMOLARITY? Osmolarity is the number of OSMOLES of solute per litre of the solution. The unit of osmolary is OSMOLE. Nowadays, osmolarity has become a term used in the past, now osmolarity is called osmotic concentration.

OSMOLARITY can be calculated using; Σ(osmotic coefficient × number of ion × the solute molar concentration).

BACK TO THE QUESTION; ALBUMIN is a PROTEIN. Protein is a large molecule and it contributes an insignificant amount to osmolarity(around 0.6 Mosmole/litre).

Also, if we have the osmotic coefficient to be between zero and one, there is going to be great DISSOCIATION.
