Many phenomena in chemistry involve fractional distributions. Sometimes it is a chemical substance that is fractionally distributed, other times it is a chemical process that is fractionally distributed. The purpose of this paper is to present a common approach to the representation of all fractional distributions. Using a common approach provides three advantages: first, it is simple; second, it is easy to understand; and third, a common approach can reveal otherwise hidden relationships between phenomena.
