Concentration vs. Major — What's the Difference?

In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration.

Major is a military rank of commissioned officer status, with corresponding ranks existing in many military forces throughout the world.
