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
Substance dependence the intervals between relapses and diminish their intensity. While some with substance issues recover and lead fulfilling lives, others require ongoing additional support.
