where s is a solvent component in the mixture and Msis the solvent molecular<br />

Born term correction<br />

If the infinite dilution aqueous solution is chosen as the reference state, we<br />

need to correct the the Debye-Hückel term for the change of the reference<br />

state from the mixed-solvent composition to aqueous solution. The Born term<br />

(Robinson and Stokes, 1970; Rashin and Honig, 1985) is used for this<br />

purpose:<br />

where NA is the Avogadro constant and R is the gas constant. is the<br />

Born term correction to the unsymmetric Pitzer-Debye-Hückel formula,<br />

, and �w is the dielectric constant of water, and ri is the Born radius<br />

of species i.<br />

The Born contribution to the activity coefficient of component i can be derived<br />

as follows:<br />

For a cation or anion component, this is:<br />

The correction to the activity coefficient for a solvent component is zero:<br />

Light gases (Henry components) are usually supercritical at the temperature<br />

and pressure of the system. In that case, pure component vapor pressure is
