Cette notion complexe donne lieu à plusieurs expressions qui sont des quasi-synonymes selon l'aspect qu'on fait ressortir. Un produit chimique se dissocie (dissociation) en ions positifs et négatifs (ionisation) jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne un certain équilibre (stabilité), variable selon chaque produit. La concentration des ions positifs multipliée par celle des ions négatifs donne le produit ionique, une constante qui permet d'évaluer quantitativement cet équilibre. La constante permet donc d'évaluer l'acidité d'un produit et, par déduction, sa basicité. 5, record 3, French, - constante%20d%27acidit%C3%A9

A systematic sample is a variation of the simple random method. A complete list of the population is made and a random number is selected and used as a standard interval to select every nth unit on the list after a random start is made. When the lists are being created, it is essential that the households be listed in a systematic but random way in order to avoid unintentionally eliminating certain types or certain categories of households. 1, record 7, English, - systematic%20sample
