Dear all,
I think it should be
mole_ratio_of_X_in_Y_in_medium
because in the atmosphere we use
mole_fraction_of_X_in_air
which implies that Y is air.
We have had a discussion on mass_ratio_of_X_in_Y_in_air, with Y being
dry/wet air. I think that the conclusion was that this concept was a
good idea, but too complicated to change all the existing ideas.
Best regards,
Christiane
