On the Free Energy of a Mixture of Ions: An Extension of Kramers' Theory

Abstract: A theory of electrolytes founded on the principles of statistical mechanics is presented. The primary physical assumptions are: (1) point ions, and (2) small fluctuations. The theory is a modification of Kramers' theory of electrolytes. The modification consists of a more physically accurate development of assumption (2). The main result of the present theory is that a partition function for the electrolyte is obtained for all concentrations, whereas Kramers' theory breaks down beyond a limiting concentration.… Show more

“…Similar as for the OCP, the static properties of the semiclassical TCP are also only weakly mass-dependent. The semi-classical region, above the temperature of degeneracy (T > T F ) and below the ionization temperature T < TI = R y / k~ forms a triangle in the density-temperature plane ( In a foregoing work [23] we studied this region on the basis of the semi-quantitative high-density asymptotics developed by Unsold [24], Berlin and Montroll [25] and Ecker and Kroll [26]. The present work.continues these investigations and uses in addition a more general ansatz for the high-density asymptotics due to Rosenfeld [lo] and extensive numerical studies of the semi-classical strongly coupled plasma by means of HNC-calculations.…”

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Such potentials have a number of simple properties. IPL potentials have, however, been considered unrealistic because their predicted equation of state is quite unrealistic and because they have no stable low-pressure liquid phase and no van der Waals loop, problems that derive from the fact that IPL potentials are purely repulsive.…”

“…The latter may be a good approximation of interactions that take place in liquid PC, since this potential is quite typical of molecular systems. Thermodynamic properties of the soft-sphere model can be derived using the Klein theorem [16][17][18] , but the solution for the kinetic properties will be more complicated. Taking into account a direct analogy 10,19 sometimes supported by deeper theoretical consideration 17,18,20,21 , one may write a scaling relationship for the characteristic time of the structural relaxation (also known as α-relaxation) τ in the form:…”
