amount concentration, $c$

Amount of a constituent divided by the volume of the mixture. Also called amount-of-substance concentration, substance concentration (in clinical chemistry) and in older literature molarity. For entities B it is often denoted by $B$ . The common unit is mole per cubic decimetre ( $mol dm −3$ ) or mole per litre( $mol L −1$ ) sometimes denoted by $M$ .
