Model Development<br />

The Pitzer model analyzes "hard-core" effects in the Debye-Hückel theory. It<br />

uses the following expansion as a radial distribution function:<br />

Where:<br />

gij = Distribution function<br />

r = Radius<br />

qij<br />

With:<br />

=<br />

zi = Charge of ion i<br />

Qe = Electron charge<br />

(pair potential of mean force)<br />

�j(r) = Average electric potential for ion j<br />

k = Boltzmann's constant<br />

T = Temperature<br />

This radial distribution function is used in the so-called pressure equation that<br />

relates this function and the intermolecular potential to thermodynamic<br />

properties. From this relation you can obtain an expression for the osmotic<br />

coefficient.<br />

Pitzer proposes a general equation for the excess Gibbs energy. The basic<br />

equation is:<br />

Where:<br />

G E<br />

= Excess Gibbs energy<br />
