How is the total energy due to the A-B cross interactions calculated?
First an A particle with B neighbors is considered, second a B particle with A neighbors is considered.
What is the expression for the total mixed energy of the randomly mixed state?
The total mixed energy of the randomly mixed state is:
How is the difference in energy between the unmixed and the mixed state calculated?
Chi is called the exchange parameter.
How is the exchange parameter defined?
It is a dimensionless parameter that summarizes the effect of the three distinct pair interactions.
In which ways is it possible for a solution to lack mixing energy?
How can the solution free energy for a binary mixture be calculated?
Where GA and GB give the pure-component free energies.
What different behaviors can occur depending on the exchange parameter?
Ifthen the mixing energy is negative and lowers the free energy. This means the interactions between A-B are stronger than the self interactions.
Ifthen the interactions between A-A and between B-B are more favorable than A-B interactions.
