Where:<br />

xi = Mole fraction of component i<br />

Ms = Molecular weight of the solvent<br />

A� = Debye-Hückel parameter<br />

NA = Avogadro's number<br />

ds = Mass density of solvent<br />

Qe = Electron charge<br />

�s = Dielectric constant of the solvent<br />

T = Temperature<br />

k = Boltzmann constant<br />

Ix = Ionic strength (mole fraction scale)<br />

xi = Mole fraction of component i<br />

zi = Charge number of ion i<br />

� = "Closest approach" parameter<br />

Taking the appropriate derivative of equation 3, an expression for the activity<br />

coefficient can then be derived.<br />

The Born equation is used to account for the Gibbs energy of transfer of ionic<br />

species from the infinite dilution state in a mixed-solvent to the infinite<br />

dilution state in aqueous phase.<br />

Where:<br />

�w = Dielectric constant of water<br />

ri = Born radius of the ionic species i<br />
