  2. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_balance

    The exact conservation law used in the analysis of the system depends on the context of the problem, but all revolve around mass conservation, i.e., that matter cannot disappear or be created spontaneously. [2]: 59–62 Therefore, mass balances are used widely in engineering and environmental analyses.

  3. Mass concentration (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_concentration_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, the mass concentration ρ i (or γ i) is defined as the mass of a constituent m i divided by the volume of the mixture V. [1]= For a pure chemical the mass concentration equals its density (mass divided by volume); thus the mass concentration of a component in a mixture can be called the density of a component in a mixture.

  4. Law of mass action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_mass_action

    Active mass was defined in the 1879 paper as "the amount of substance in the sphere of action". [14] For species in solution active mass is equal to concentration. For solids, active mass is taken as a constant. , a and b were regarded as empirical constants, to be determined by experiment.

  5. Nernst–Planck equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst–Planck_equation

    The Nernst–Planck equation is a conservation of mass equation used to describe the motion of a charged chemical species in a fluid medium. It extends Fick's law of diffusion for the case where the diffusing particles are also moved with respect to the fluid by electrostatic forces.

  6. Law of dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_dilution

    Ostwald noted that the law of mass action can be applied to such systems as dissociating electrolytes. The equilibrium state is represented by the equation: + + If α is the fraction of dissociated electrolyte, then αc 0 is the concentration of each ionic species.

  7. Gravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetric_analysis

    Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's mass in a mixture, as long as the relative ...

  8. Dilution (equation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_(equation)

    For example, if there are 10 grams of salt (the solute) dissolved in 1 litre of water (the solvent), this solution has a certain salt concentration . If one adds 1 litre of water to this solution, the salt concentration is reduced. The diluted solution still contains 10 grams of salt (0.171 moles of NaCl).

  9. Boltzmann–Matano analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann–Matano_analysis

    Chuijiro Matano applied Boltzmann's transformation to obtain a method to calculate diffusion coefficients as a function of concentration in metal alloys. Two alloys with different concentration would be put into contact, and annealed at a given temperature for a given time t , typically several hours; the sample is then cooled to ambient ...
