Scaling theory is applied to derive expressions describing the influence of polymolecularity on the second virial coefficient, A , , as obtained from osmotic pressure and light scattering measurements. Numerical values of polymolecularity correction factors are calculated for Schulz-Zimm and logarit

β¦ Synopsis
Pair interaction parameters like the second virial coefficient A z or the Flory-Huggins parameter Z are influenced by inter-and intramolecular contacts. The paper discusses a model in which A 2 linearly depends on M -~" 0.5), where a is the exponent in the Mark-Houwink relation. From this dependence, the two components of Z, namely Z~nter and ~intra, were evaluated and their values, their interdependence and their variation with the thermodynamic quality of the solvent were determined. The evaluation of numerous literature data confirms the model.

## Abstract It is shown that the recently developed scaling theory for the second virial coefficient, __A__~2~, of dilute solutions of polymers with nonβuniform molecular weight distributions in a good solvent is able to explain in principle all seemingly contradictory observations reported in the
Based on the measurement of the concentration dependence of the osmotic pressure of sodium alginate aqueous solution in different concentrations of potassium nitrate, the contribution of polyion charges to the second virial coefficient was predicted. According to this analysis, an equation A 2 = A 2
A previous method for calculating the second virial coefficients of pure compounds and mixtures is revised. The two empirical constants of a semi-theoretical relation are related to the reduced second virial coefficient values of a pure compound calculated at the normal boiling temperature and at th
The second and the third virial coefficients in the lattice model of athermal mixtures of molecules of difierent sizes are calculated. Ail computations have been done for two-and three-dimensional simple square and simple cubic lattices.
