Understand as an Aliquot that unit with the particular characteristic of being the first, of a series of relative elements that describe the same properties of the whole from which they were withdrawn. An aliquot is separated for a particular purpose, related to the field of study in which it is used, generally said field refers to didactic or research elements that apply functions or variables in structures of the same composition on a larger scale. The aliquots are used in demographic, statistical and behavioral studies, where a sample of the criteria to be evaluated is taken and it is assumed that the same behavior has the rest of the focus on evaluation.
The aliquots also serve to denote those portions of money or goods that an entity with power can claim, provided of course, a law that includes a fair percentage for everyone who must comply with the rule of contributing an aliquot, there is no better example of this use, that the fiscal scope, the payment of tribute and the tithe established in the religious institutions.
It should be taken into account the fact that the term Aliquot is generic, applicable in any area of daily life in which smaller-scale representations are a practical tool for the study and creation of mass databases with behavior. Despite this, the field with the most projection of the use of this term is chemistry, since a small portion of the compound under study assumes in proportion the same characteristics of the entire compound or element. These measurements generally represent a percentage perfectly adaptable to a whole, representing a generic unit of the compound. The distribution and use of the aliquotsin chemistry they are useful for defining unknown structures and new combinations between them. In the chemical field, aliquots can be in the three states of matter, liquid, gaseous and solid, in the first state, the measurement is made in milliliters with an instrument called a pipette, while in the solid, a heavy particle is taken in grams mole, with sufficient molecular composition for the study.
