If you're searching for standard names for physical quantities, then
I highly recommend looking at section 8.6 ("Amount of substance,
concentration, molality, and the like") of the NIST webpage
http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/sec08.html
I think it would recommend the standard name "molality of nitrate".
