Pourcentage. C'est une façon commode d'exprimer les concentrations. Le pourcentage en masse est le nombre de parts, en masse, de soluté pour cent parts de solution [...] Les mélanges gazeux, étant difficiles à peser, sont exprimés en pourcentage en volume; ainsi, on dit que l'air contient 78 % d'azote en volume. On exprime de la même façon les solutions de liquides dans des liquides (par exemple de l'alcool dans de l'eau). 5, record 1, French, - pourcentage%20en%20volume
