Equivalence of two approaches for the inhomogeneous density in the canonical ensemble
1Departamento de Fisica Aplicada, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Salamanca, 37008 Salamanca, Spain.
Abstract:
In this Brief Report we show that the inhomogeneous density obtained from a density-functional theory of classical fluids in the canonical ensemble (CE), recently presented by White et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 1220 (2000)], is equivalent to first order to the result of the series expansion of the CE inhomogeneous density introduced by Gonzalez et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2466 (1997)].

Homogeneous Equilibria for Gaseous Reactions
For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp) of the reactants and products. A relation between these two K values may be simply derived from the ideal gas equation and the definition of molarity. According to the ideal gas equation:
