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
Bubble (physics) during intravenous fluid administration, or during surgery. Bubble (physics) A bubble is a globule of one substance in another, usually gas in a liquid. Due to the Marangoni effect, bubbles may remain intact when they reach the surface of the immersive substance. Bubbles are seen in many places in everyday life, for example: Bubbles form, and coalesce, into globular shapes, because those shapes are at a lower energy state. For the physics and chemistry behind it, see nucleation. Bubbles are visible because they have a different refractive index (RI) than the surrounding substance. For example, the RI of air is
