Abstract
The general results obtained previously when methods similar to those of surface thermodynamics were used to provide an alternative derivation of part of the Kirkwood—Buff theory of solutions are applied to solutions of interacting multicomponent charged aggregates. General and exact expressions which account for aggregation explicitly are derived and are compared with the corresponding equations for small systems in a solvent given by T. L. Hill. It is shown how the theory can be used to discuss conformation changes in macromolecules. A general interpretation in molecular terms of the behaviour of the micelle point in multi-component solutions is also given. Finally, expressions are presented for the interpretation of light scattering data.
