The Statistical Theory of the Ionic Equilibrium of Water. Basic Principles and Practical Realization

A statistical theory is presented to study the ionic equilibrium of water. The paper is essentially technical: basic principles of the theory and its practical realisation are discussed in detail. The main results are sketched and the role of various polarisation mechanisms is emphasized.
