Chemical composition

<h2 id="composite-mixture">Composite mixture</h2>
<p>The chemical composition of a <a href="/facts/Mixture/tms8rbmn">mixture</a> can be defined as the distribution of the individual substances that constitute the mixture, called "components". In other words, it is equivalent to quantifying the <a href="/facts/Concentration/wqBmz5od">concentration</a> of each component. Because there are different ways to define the concentration of a component, there are also different ways to define the composition of a mixture. It may be expressed as <a href="/facts/Molar_fraction/nW4EepmJ">molar fraction</a>, <a href="/facts/Volume_fraction/nj2akBNM">volume fraction</a>, <a href="/facts/Mass_fraction_(chemistry)/YMIH9egn">mass fraction</a>, <a href="/facts/Molality/Saa8Jj8w">molality</a>, <a href="/facts/Molarity/P2WL5b9q">molarity</a> or <a href="/facts/Equivalent_concentration/Xa3BojCN">normality</a> or <a href="/facts/Mixing_ratio/lyF4MMzq">mixing ratio</a>.
</p><p>Chemical composition of a mixture can be represented graphically in plots like <a href="/facts/Ternary_plot/8gFtjRuA">ternary plot</a> and quaternary plot.
