  "term": "Ionic strength",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the total concentration of ions in a solution, taking into account the charge of each ion. It is calculated as half the sum of the product of the concentration and the square of the charge for all ions present. Ionic strength influences the activity coefficients of ions and is expressed in units of mol/kg or mol/L.",
