Dilute Solutions
9.1 General considerations
Now we develop the thermodynamic treatment of dilute solutions. Quite generally
we can think of a number of substances called solutes dissolved in a liquid called the
solvent.LetN

(9.1)
In terms of an atomist description, diluteness means the number of molecules per
unit volume of each of the solutes is much smaller than that of the solvent.
Now let u be the internal energy of a fraction of the solution containing 1 mole of
the solvent. Clearly, this fraction ...
