Mass concentration (chemistry)

In chemistry, the mass concentration ρi (or γi) is defined as the mass of a constituent mi divided by the volume of the mixture V. ρ i = m i V {\displaystyle \rho _{i}={\frac {m_{i}}{V}}} For a pure chemical substance, the mass concentration equals its density (mass divided by volume); thus the mass concentration of a component in a mixture can be called the "density of a component in a mixture". This explains the usage of ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), the symbol most often used for density.
