Definition

relational quality of a mixture that is the amount of substance or number or mass or volume of a specified constituent of the mixture per unit volume of that mixture

Examples

  • mass concentration of glucose in a cell culture medium; the molar concentration of sodium chloride in a buffer solution; the mass concentration of dissolved oxygen in culture fluid; the mass concentration of protein in a drug substance solution; the molar concentration of carbon dioxide in incubator air

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

Concentration(x) β†’ RelationalQuality(x) ∧ βˆƒm (MixedMaterial(m) ∧ qualityOf(x, m) ∧ βˆ€c (hasMagnitudeBasisInBearerPart(x, c) β†’ (MaterialEntity(c) ∧ isMadeOfAtSomeTime(m, c))))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a β€˜concentration’ then x is a β€˜relational quality’ that is the β€˜quality of’ some β€˜mixed material’, and if x β€˜has magnitude basis in bearer part’ some c, then c is a β€˜material entity’ of which that same β€˜mixed material’ β€˜is made of at some time’
