TL;DR: In this paper, it was observed that if one represents the Helmholtz function of an isotopic mixture by that of a pseudosingle component system with mass m*=παmαxα, where the mα are the masses of the components, and the xα their mole fractions, a good approximation is obtained.
Abstract: It is observed that, if one represents the Helmholtz function of an isotopic mixture by that of a pseudosingle component system with mass m*=παmαxα, where the mα are the masses of the components, and the xα their mole fractions, a good approximation is obtained. The Helmholtz function of the pseudosingle component system is obtained via the quantal law of corresponding states. Plausible, though nonrigorous, theoretical arguments for the validity of this observation are presented.
