Mixture Mixture In chemistry, a mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions and colloids. Mixtures are one product of mechanically blending or mixing chemical substances such as elements and compounds, without chemical bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its own chemical properties and makeup. Despite that there are no chemical changes to its constituents, the physical properties of a mixture, such
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)
