Abstract
Solutions of very low concentrations cannot be treated by the usual concept of concentration. Stochastic calculations are performed for the analysis of such solutions containing one or a few molecule(s). It is concluded that these systems escape the usual concentration parameters. Two “case histories” are also shown for demonstration of the practical consequences of the theoretical analysis.Keywords
