You have 100 cm3 of 0.1 m salt solution, NaCI. Express this concentration in ppm (parts of salt per million in solution).

The use of the BOM is twofold. First, it provides a list of materials, lot numbers, and quantities for accounting purposes. Second, it provides a means by which production personnel can double check their own work. 

Analysis by GC-MS. The four GC patterns obtained were each unique in the number of separated peaks as well as their quantity. Crude oat oils (COUM, COUC) differed from similar heated oils (CORM, CORC). For explanation of the abbreviations used, see Legend of Symbols. Oat samples milled after roasting (MARM, MARC) contained more volatile compounds, both with regard to number and quantity, compared with identical samples milled before roasting (MBRM, MBRC). In addition, volatile constituents from the Chihuauhua variety (MARC, MBRC) were present in lower concentrations than the Magne variety (MARM, MBRM). 

Numbers and quantities should be expressed in units appropriate to the region into which the product is being supplied. In general, the International System of Units (SI) should be used. 

This system maintains a running inventory of raw materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It will be updated at regular intervals when new materials arrive, as well as when materials are drawn out. This system is useful in tracking existing inventory, lot numbers, and quantities of raw materials needed for manufacturing a product, as well as other pertinent information. Some systems also accommodate the need to reserve a certain lot of raw material for use in manufacturing a particular batch of the product to be used... 

In order to allow effective tracking of products, record keeping of product distribution is necessary. Sufficient information on wholesalers and/or directly supplied customers with precise batch numbers and quantities supplied together with contact numbers and addresses must be available and up to date. The process of the recall must be recorded including reconciliation between delivered and returned quantities of the products. 

Both the numbers and quantities of amphetamine seizures stabilised in 1998. Ecstasy seizures have been stable since 1997, although the quantities involved fluctuate. 

As users of synthetic substances tend not to see themselves as drug users or drug addicts, and thus rarely seek treatment, an accurate picture of the extent of synthetic drug use in the CEECs is hard to draw. Available data on both the number and quantities of drug seizures, however, seem to indicate that the spread of these substances is largely underestimated. 

After demonstrating tolerability and an acceptable pharmacokinetic profile in phase I studies, a drug will be tested in small numbers of patients in phase II studies. At this point, a number of batches of drug substance will have been produced and it will be possible to get an idea of the purity profile, that is, the number and quantity of each impurity in the drug compared to the content of the active moiety. 

Purity. The use of evaporation methods for the preparation of actinide metals reduces the number and quantities of impurities. Nevertheless, possible chemical contaminations from reactions with reducing agents, container vessel or crucible material or with constituents of the atmosphere as well as the accumulation of products of radioactive decay have to be taken into account. 

All these reactions challenge process chemists to niunimize the number and quantity of waste products by exercising control or devising other conversions than form the same intermediate or final product C. 

So far as the tyro is concerned theoretical demonstrations are by no means so convincing as is sometimes supposed. It is as necessary to learn to think in letters and to handle numbers and quantities by their symbols as it is to learn to swim or to ride a bicycle. The inutility of general proofs is an everyday experience to the teacher. The beginner only acquires confidence by reasoning about something which allows him to test whether his results are true or false he is really convinced only after the principle has been verified by actual measurement or by arithmetical illustration. The best of all proofs, said Oliver Heaviside... 

The workshop, equipment and container used in production shall bear a status label indicating the name of the product to be processed, its batch number and quantity. 

In solid-phase carbohydrate synthesis, it is impossible to purify the synthetic intermediates, whereas glycosylation reactions, especially the two-phase reactions, usually give relatively poor efficiency and stereoselectivity. As a result, a significant number and quantity of side products will be formed together with the desired product on the polymer. After carbohydrate chains are cut off from the polymer, a complex mixture is obtained, and the final product purification becomes difficult. To deal with this problem, several innovative strategies have been explored... 

As already discussed, obesity is associated via augmented cholesterol synthesis with an increased bile acid production. Since obesity as such is a result of excessive consumption of calories, it is logical to infer that overeating stimulates cholesterol synthesis and secondarily bile acid production. An increased number and quantity of daily meals may, however, change under these conditions the metabolism of both cholesterol and bile acids in complicated ways which are not yet completely understood, by augmenting the number of enterohepatic circulations of bile salts. Increased intestinal contents and fecal mass may also interfere with reabsorption of bile acids. 

Reduction in the number and quantity of hazardous solvents utilized. 

An assembly drawing shows the exact relative position of aU the parts and how they fit together. Dimensions of individual parts are not shown although indication of overall dimensions relative to, and important for the final assembly may be included. AU individual parts are identified by an item number. A parts list is shown giving information such as item number, part description, part number and quantity required.
