Referring now to Figure 2 we may note an inversion of the R
dependence and in terms of practical recommendation we would
be quite certain of the applicability of eq 20 for the solvent density
below 0.7 and skeptical above for size ratio R greater than say
0.85. However, we do not see the study of the expansion (20)
in terms of practical applicability alone.
I t is clear from the physical picture that one has two very
different situations for a small solute and for a large solute. I n
the first case the small solute particle may fit into the existing
cavities of the host solvent fluid. Then an average over unperturbed configurations of the solvent may be reasonably considered
and it may even produce relatively accurate results, barring extreme cases (such as of a very strong ab interaction, t a b >> t b b ) .
I n the case of large solute, clearly the immediate neighborhood
of the solute particle is strongly deformed, even beyond recognition,
and new methods must be devised.
It is to be regretted that we could not compare our results with
the simulation results.2d However, no two state points agree
exactly and, moreover, the potentials are in fact different. We
have used the complete Lennard-Jones potential and the cutoff
imposed by Haile and GuptaI3 at r = 6 u whereas in simulation
one uses most often a potential cutoff at a much shorter distance,
r =2.5~
typically.
The smallness of the final contribution of the difference A
resulting from 8,' minus the superposition approximation is to
be noted.
An attractive idea, exploited in many early theories, is to divide
the process of insertion of the foreign molecule in two stages: a
formation of a cavity in the host fluid, followed by the insertion:
In the context of the calculation of section 2 such a subdivision
does not impose itself at all. The "formation of a cavity" may
be more natural for large solutes.
Differentiation with respect to (3 (cf. section 2) produces the
energy of dissolution.

A new analytic statistical mechanical fluctuation solution theory for activity coefficients in multicomponent mixtures is developed.
This theory is based on the newly formulated exact relations among the mixture direct correlation function integrals and
the closures for cross direct correlation function integrals. One major advantage of this theory is its independence from the
nature of intermolecular interaction potentials in solutions which are generally unknown for complex molecules. The theory
is successfully used for vapor-liquid equilibria, liquid-liquid equilibria, and phase splitting prediction and correlation of fluid
mixtures consisting of polar and associating molecules.
Introduction
Definition of activity coefficients provides a convenient way
of describing the nonidealities encountered in solution thermod y n a m i c ~ . ' - ~ J ~However,
>'~
there exists very limited theoretical
understanding through which one can derive expressions for activity coefficients using the principles of statistical mechanics. As
a result, most of the available analytic expressions for activity
coefficients are empirical which are based on classical thermodynamic definition of excess properties.
Lattice theories of statistical mechanics were successful in
providing us with analytic expressions for activity coefficient^.^,^
There exist numerous group-contribution expressions for activity
coefficients which are based on the lattice theories of statistical
mechanics. The high degree of combinatorial approximations
which are used in the lattice theories have made their resulting
activity coefficient expressions only a limited success.
Another statistical mechanical route for the development of
analytic expressions of activity coefficients is the use of Gibbs,
or NPT, e n ~ e m b l e . ~Gibbs ensemble, joined with the conformal
solution theory of statistical mechanics, have provided us with the
formalism in systematically deriving analytic expressions of activity
coefficients. The success of this technique is also limited to simple
molecular fluid mixture for which the intermolecular potential
energy functions are available. In the case of polar mixtures and
mixtures possessing hydrogen-bonding species the route through

the Gibbs ensemble will be at a loss.
The third statistical mechanical route to activity coefficients
is the Kirkwood-Buff solution theory of statistical mechani~s.~J~J'
The activity coefficient, yi, of component i in a mixture is defined
by the following relation
In (XiTi) = ( p i - bip)/kT
(1)
where F ; is the chemical potential of component i in the mixture,
wuipis the standard-state chemical potential of i, k is the Boltzmann
constant, and Tis the absolute temperature. By utilizing the above
definition, activity coefficients in solutions are obtained from the
relations between the chemical potentials, F ~ and
,
the fluctuation
integrals, Cis. According to the Kirkwood-Buff solution theory5
the expression for the chemical potential, pi, of component i in
a binary mixture takes the following form:
x i [ a ~ i / a x i l=~ k, ~
T / [ 1 + X I X Z P ( G+I IG22 - 2G12)1 (2)

and the direct correlation function, cij(r),is defined with respect
to the radial distribution function, gij(r), in an n-component
mixture, by
Finally, the activity coefficient, yi, of component i is obtained by
integrating eqs 2 or 4 with respect to the mole fraction. Equation
1 then becomes
This equation, in principle, could be used to calculate the activity
coefficients provided information about Gij integrals are available.
One major advantage of this formalism is the fact that there is
no need for direct information about the intermolecular potential
energy functions of species of the mixture. However, the lack of
sufficient knowledge about G , (or Cv) integrals and their relationships has limited the utility of this theory. For mixtures of
species with model intermolecular potential energy functions it
has been possible to calculate G , (or Cij) integrals and as a result
the activity coefficients from statistical mechanics. Equation 7
has some utility for complex solutions (mixtures consisting of
highly asymmetric, polar, and hydrogen-bonding species) only at
infinite dilution.
The theory reported here provides us with a strong tool for
developing analytic expressions for activity coefficients of multicomponent mixtures by using eq. 7 and a number of newly
discovered characteristics of direct correlation function integrals
in mixtures. This theory is shown to be applicable to complex
multicomponent mixtures at finite concentrations as well as solutions at infinite dilutions.
Theory of Multicomponent Activity Coefficients
Let us consider a single-phase multicomponent solution consisting of n components. The chemical potential, p i . of every
species in this mixture is a function of n + 1 independent variables
d [ a p i / d x j ] / 8 P= a [ a p i / a P ] a x j= [ ~ 3 D , / d x ~ ] ~ ,i,, j =

... n (8)
(
i, j , k =
I , ..., n and j # k (9)
I n the above equations &,/axj and partial molar volume, Di, are
related to the direct correlation function integrals by6
Ni(dpi/aNj) = kT[6ij - Xi11
By replacing eqs IO and 11 in eqs 8 and 9 we will derive a number
of expressions between Ciis of the mixture. In an n-component
mixture there exist n(n + 1)/2 direct correlation function integrals
which are considered as unknowns in eqs 8 and 9. Note that there
are n(n - 1) relations of the type in eq 8 and n(n - I)(n - 2)/2
relations of the type in eq 9. Of all these equations only n(n
1)/2 - 1 of them are independent. Since there are n(n 1)/2
unknowns, one additional relation will be needed to determine all
the unknowns regardless of the number of components involved.
The resulting equations for direct correlation function integrals
consist of a set of nonlinear partial differential equations. A
general analytic solution of this set of equations for multicomponent mixtures does not seem feasible at the present time.
Numerical solutions of these equations are generally involved and
lengthy and could require the use of multivariable finite difference
techniques. In what follows we report the analytic solution of these
equations for mixtures at low to moderate pressures.
Analytic Solutiow for Low to Moderate Pressures. For liquids
at low to moderate pressures it can be assumed that the activity
coefficient is not dependent on pressure. In mathematical form
using eq 1 this means

As a result of this approximation eq 8 reduces to the following
expression [ d ~ , / d x , =] ~0 ,or~ 8, = ui, where ui is the molar volume
of pure component i. As a result of this approximation eq 11 can
be written in the following form:

where the mixture isothermal compressibility is now given by

(15)
The set of relations in eq 9 do not simplify upon making the
assumption of low pressure. To overcome this difficulty and to
provide the one additional relation needed, the following closure
relation is assume to be valid for all cross direct correlation function
integrals (C,) i # j)'.*
Cij = ajiCii

function integrals of a variety of nonpolar, polar, and hydrogenbonding binary mixtures. Substituting eq 16 in eq 14 gives the

activity coefficient expressions, they are used for vapor-liquid and

Microscopic relations between single-particle orientational relaxation time ( T , ) , dielectric relaxation time ( T ~ ) and
,
many-body
orientational relaxation time ( T ~ of) a dipolar liquid are derived. We show that both T~ and T~ are influenced significantly
by many-body effects. In the present theory, these many-body effects enter through the anisotropic part of the two-particle
direct correlation function of the polar liquid. We use mean-spherical approximation (MSA) for dipolar hard spheres for
explicit numerical evaluation of the relaxation times. We find that, although the dipolar correlation function is biexponential,
the frequency-dependent dielectric constant is of simple Debye form, with T~ equal to the transverse polarization relaxation
time. The microscopic T~ falls in between Debye and Onsager-Glarum expressions at large values of the static dielectric
constant.
Introduction
The relationship between single-particle orientational relaxation
time, T,, and many-body orientational relaxation time, T ~ of,
dipolar molecules in a dense liquid has been a subject of much
discussion in the recent past.'-4 Another related question is the
relationship between T , and dielectric relaxation time T~ of a pure
dipolar liquid.5-" It is clear that the dielectric relaxation time
contains some amount of many-body effects, although the precise
