The derived quantities They are those whose units are a function of the existing ones for the fundamental quantities. The units used in these quantities are those recommended by the International System of Units (IU).
Thus, the derived physical quantities are expressed as a function of the fundamental ones: length (m), time (s), mass (kg), intensity of electric current (A), temperature (K), quantity of substance (mol) and luminous intensity (cd); all following the provisions of the International System of Units.
Among the derived quantities we have the following: surface, volume, density, force, acceleration, speed, work, concentration, viscosity, pressure, etc..
Unlike fundamental quantities, derivatives help not only to quantify the variables of a physical system, but also to describe and classify it. With these a more specific description of the bodies is obtained during an action or physical phenomenon.
With regard to chemistry, all units of molar concentrations (osmolarity, molarity and molality) are also derived quantities, since they depend on the mole, a fundamental quantity, and on the volume, a derived quantity..

It is the volume of fluid that passes through a cross section of a cylindrical tube per unit of time (second).
