Abstract
The paper discusses the virial equation for the osmotic pressure of a polyelectrolyte solution. The formal relationship between the osmotic coefficient and distribution functions can be straightforwardly integrated if the correlation between simple ions is neglected. This assumption is proved to be equivalent to the approximation inherent in the Poisson–Boltzmann equation. In the resulting expression, the osmotic coefficient is determined by the concentration of the counterions adjacent to the polyion. In addition, the counterion–counterion contribution to the osmotic coefficient is found to be independent of the polyelectrolyte concentration, and equal to λ/2. The comparison with the Monte Carlo calculations yields the conclusion that the Poisson–Boltzmann equation overestimates the counterion–counterion, and underestimates the counterion–polyion contribution to the osmotic coefficient.
