Molecular Theory of Solutions

By Arieh Ben-Naim

Book Overview

This book presents new and updated developments in the molecular theory of mixtures and solutions. It is based on the theory of Kirkwood and Buff which was published more than fifty years ago. This theory has been dormant for almost two decades. It has recently become a very powerful and
general tool to analyze, study and understand any type of mixtures from the molecular, or the microscopic point of view. The traditional approach to mixture has been, for many years, based on the study of excess thermodynamic quantities. This provides a kind of global information on the system. The
new approach provides information on the local properties of the same system. Thus, the new approach supplements and enriches our information on mixtures and solutions.
