CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY

molar concentration    →   molarna koncentracija

See Amount concentration

amount concentration    →   količinska koncentracija

Amount concentration (also called molar concentration and in older literature molarity) is the amount of a given substance in a stated unit of a mixture, solution, or ore. The common unit is mole per cubic decimetre (moldm⁻³) or mole per litre (molL^-1) sometimes denoted by M.

The concentration of an atom, ion, or molecule in a solution may be symbolised by the use of square brackets, as [Ca²⁺].

ceiling level    →   maksimalno dopustiva koncentracija

Ceiling level or ceiling value is the maximum permissible concentration of a hazardous material in the working environment. This level should not be exceeded at any time.

concentration    →   koncentracija

1. Group of four quantities characterizing the composition of a mixture with respect to the volume of the mixture (mass, amount, volume and number concentration).

2. Short form for amount (of substance) concentration (substance concentration in clinical chemistry).

molar enthalpy of evaporation    →   molarna entalpija isparavanja

Molar enthalpy of evaporation (Δ_l ^gH) is a change of enthalpy during evaporation divided by molarity of a liquid, and is equal to the heat energy spent when the evaporation is conducted under constant pressure, Δ_l ^gH=Q.

molar enthalpy of melting    →   molarna entalpija taljenja

Molar enthalpy of melting (Δ_s ^lH) is a change of enthalpy during melting divided by the molarity of a solid matter, and is equal to the energy used when melting is conducted under constant pressure.

molar quantity    →   molarna veličina

Molar quantity is often convenient to express an extensive quantity (e.g., volume, enthalpy, heat capacity, etc.) as the actual value divided by the amount of substance (number of moles). The resulting quantity is called molar volume, molar enthalpy, etc.

mass concentration    →   masena koncentracija

Mass concentration (γ) is equal to mass (m_A) of soluted substance and volume (V) of the solution proportion. SI unit for mass concentration is kg m^-3, but in laboratory practice g dm^-3, which has the same number value, is often used.

molar mass    →   molarna masa

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.

It is normally expressed in units of g mol^-1, in which case its numerical value is identical with the relative molecular mass.

volume concentration    →   volumenska koncentracija

Volume concentration (σ) is equal to volume (V_A) of solute and volume (V) of solution proportion. Volume concentration differs from volume fraction because the sum of solution components volume is almost always different than the solution volume.
