Abstract

The role of electrochemical potentials in the grand canonical ensemble of ionic micellar systems is characterized. The notion of relative electrochemical potentials is introduced with allowance for the electroneutrality condition. Fundamental relations and primary statistical-thermodynamic relations are derived for ideal and real ionic micellar systems with participation of electrochemical potentials, in which inaccuracies observed in published literature, are eliminated. A differential equation for the osmotic pressure of ionic aggregated system is obtained. Relations that link the work of the aggregation of ionic micelle with chemical and electrochemical potentials and aggregation numbers are established. Separate contributions to the work of aggregation are commented on.
