Limits of the Classical Concept of Concentration
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.
