Thermodynamic-Ensemble Independence of Solvation Free Energy
2015
Solvation free energy is the fundamental thermodynamic quantity in solution chemistry. Recently, it has been suggested that the partial molar volume correction is necessary to convert the solvation free energy determined in different thermodynamic ensembles. Here, we demonstrate ensemble-independence of the solvation free energy on general thermodynamic grounds. Theoretical estimates of the solvation free energy based on the canonical or grand-canonical ensemble are pertinent to experiments carried out under constant pressure without any conversion.
