Molar mass of equivalent of substance M( x) is the mass of substance which
�
joins or displaces one atom of hydrogen in acid-base reactions. In redox reactions
it is the mass of substance which corresponds to one electron joined or lost at
1
reaction. Factor of equivalence ( � ) shows what part of the molecule is equivalent to
the atom of hydrogen or to the electron.
Molar concentration of solute’s equivalent (normality) is expressed by mol/l.
Molality b(x) is the ratio between number of moles of component n(x) and
mass of solvent m(solvent):
n(x)
b(x) =
m( solvent)
Mass concentration is measured in kg/m3. Also such rates as: g/m3; g/l; g/cm3;
mg/l; mg/cm3; and other may be used.
m = k∙p,
C = C0∙e-kc,

where c1(X) and c2(X) are concentrations of the dissolved substance in the
first and the second solvents.
Their ability to diffuse through biological membranes plays a huge role in
distribution of substances in body. However, only not ionized molecules of fat-
soluble substances easily penetrate through membranes. Ability of such substances
to be transported through membranes is approximately proportional to values of
distribution coefficients of these substances in systems “oil-water”: an olive oil-
water, chloroform-water, etc. founded in vitro (in a flask). Such laws underlie
creation by pharmacists of new effective remedies, which should be transported
through membranes. For this purpose, determination of distribution coefficients in
vitro for remedies in systems “oil-water” is carried out, instead of rather difficult
and long researches in vivo. The coefficients of distribution received
experimentally for remedies in systems “oil-water”, and also their dependence on
acidity of medium are used for forecasting the possibility of penetration of these
remedies through biological membranes in the body of patients.
