Examination of the limiting laws of polyelectrolytes and counterion condensation II.
The two phase model of polyelectrolyte solutions, which has been developed recently, is examined in a further detail. The binding free energy, which was introduced in the previous paper (J. Chem. Phys. 81 (1977) 1929), is replaced by the entropy of the condensed phase. This replacement leads to a detailed picture of the condensed phase. In a mixed system of mono- and divalent counterions, a couple of possibilities are examined in interpreting the condensation volume, which corresponds to the condensation entropy.
