Solution Solution In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The term aqueous solution is when one of the solvents is water. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The mixing process of a solution happens at a scale where the effects of chemical polarity are involved, resulting in interactions that are specific to solvation. The solution assumes the phase of the solvent when the solvent is the larger fraction of the mixture, as is commonly the case. The concentration of a
A priori probability case of the hydrogen atom or Coulomb potential (where the evaluation of the phase space volume for constant energy is more complicated) one knows that the quantum mechanical degeneracy is formula_56 with formula_57. Thus in this case formula_58. In statistical mechanics (see any book) one derives the so-called distribution functions formula_59 for various statistics. In the case of Fermi-Dirac statistics and Bose-Einstein statistics these functions are respectively These functions are derived for (1) a system in dynamic equilibrium (i.e. under steady, uniform conditions) with (2) total (and huge) number of particles formula_61 (this condition determines the constant formula_62), and (3)
