Concentration total amount of all "other" constituents in a mixture: If formula_6 is much smaller than formula_26, the mole ratio is almost identical to the mole fraction. The SI unit is mol/mol. However, the deprecated parts-per notation is often used to describe small mole ratios. The mass fraction formula_33 is the fraction of one substance with mass formula_2 to the mass of the total mixture formula_35, defined as: The SI unit is kg/kg. However, the deprecated parts-per notation is often used to describe small mass fractions. The mass ratio formula_37 is defined as the mass of a constituent formula_2 divided by
Action (physics) in time and space. Action has the dimensions of [energy]⋅[time], and its SI unit is joule-second, which is identical to the unit of angular momentum. In classical physics, the term "action" has a number of meanings. Most commonly, the term is used for a functional formula_2 which takes a function of time and (for fields) space as input and returns a scalar. In classical mechanics, the input function is the evolution q("t") of the system between two times "t" and "t", where q represents the generalized coordinates. The action formula_3 is defined as the integral of the Lagrangian "L" for
