The lower the proportion of dissolved solute, the lower the concentration, and vice versa.
In the field of physics , on the other hand, concentration is the magnitude that allows measuring and making known how much of a substance can be found in each unit of volume. The International System establishes that the unit of concentration is the mole per cubic meter .
Mental concentration

Concentration camp
A concentration camp , finally, is a detention center where people have no legal guarantees. Detainees are often tortured or exploited without their rights being respected.
