Definition: Concentration |
ConcentrationNoun1. The strength of a solution; number of molecules of a substance in a given volume (expressed as moles/cubic meter). 2. The spatial property of being crowded together. 3. Strengthening the concentration (as of a solute in a mixture) by removing extraneous material. 4. Increase in density. 5. Complete attention; intense mental effort. 6. Bringing together military forces. 7. Great and constant diligence and attention. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Date "concentration" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1790. (references) |
| Domain | Definition |
Agriculture | A measure of the degree to which a few large firms dominate total sales, production, or capacity within an industry or market. The concern is that the more concentrated an industry, the greater the likelihood of price and market manipulation. For example, meat packer concentration has long been a concern of cattle producers. It is common to express concentration as a ratio, by stating the share (%) held by the top 4, 8, or 12 firms. (economic). (references) |
Economics | A concentration shall be deemed to arise where:a)two or more previously independent untertakings merge, or; b)one or more persons already controlling at least one undertaking, or-one or more undertakings acquire, whether by purchase of securities or assets, by contract or by any other means, direct or indirect control of the whole or parts of one or more other undertakings.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Concentration is a measure of the amount of one specified element or component in a compound or mixture. Concentration may be expressed both qualitatively or quantitatively.Qualitatively, terms such as dilute and concentrated are use to describe relatively low and high concentrations, respectively. Quantitatively, there are a number of different ways to express the ratio of the part to the whole. The most common are:
- Mass per unit mass - percentage by mass. For example, if substance a has a mass of 50g in a total mixture mass of 100g, then substance A has a concentration of 50% m/m in that mixture.
- Molarity (M), or moless per liter. For example, a 1.0 liter solution containing 5.0 moless of a solute would have a concentration of 5.0 M. Although molarity is the most common method of specifying concentration, it is dependent on temperature and pressure (due to change in volume). If an experimenting is being performed such that the charge of a solution is important, then knowing the mass proportion of the ions in the solution is irrelevant, as different ions will have different masses, but may have the same charge. Thus, the molar concentration of the substance is required, as molarity takes into account the atomic mass of the substance.
- Molality (m), or moless per kilogram. For example, a 1.0 kg solution containing 5.0 moles of solute would have a concentration of 5.0 m. Molality is used when temperature varies in an exothermic or endothermic reaction because it is not dependent on temperature or pressure. The unit symbol for molality, ''m," conflicts with the SI unit meter; the intended unit, however, can be determined by context.
- Mole fraction (χ), or moless per moless. For example, 5.0 moles dissolved in a 10 mole solution would have a mole fraction concentration of 2.0. Since the number of moles essentially measures particles, the mole fraction measures particles per particles.
- For extremely low concentration, the following units are used:
- Parts per million (ppm)
- Parts per billion (ppb)
- Parts per trillion (ppt)

Concentration is a card game, apparently of the Rummy family where all the cards are laid out on a surface and two cards are turned over each turn. It can be played with one player or many players. This scheme is often used in quiz shows. It is also known as Memory.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Concentration (game)."

 | This is a histological slide of the human lymphotropic virus (HHV-6), a type of herpesvirus that was discovered in October, 1986. The bright immunofluorescent stain indicates a positive reaction and the HHV-6 infected lymphocytes are now producing viral antigens. The increased intensity of the immunofluorescent stain indicates a higher concentration of viral antigens. Maximal intensity indicates that the infected cell is at its peak for viral production. The cell will die within 24 hours and cause a sudden release of the virus.
