The thermodynamics and statistical thermodynamics of curved surfaces are used to investigate scaled particle theory as an extension of macroscopic ideas into the molecular domain. A thermodynamic expression for G(r), the central function of scaled particle theory, is derived which is exact down to values of r approximating molecular diameters but which contains parameters which can only be specified on the basis of molecular information. These parameters are the pressure p; γs, the surface tension corresponding to the surface of tension; and δ1, the distance of the surface of tension from the surface of radius r belonging to the “r‐cule” or solute hard sphere. γs and δ1 depend upon both r and the density ρ, while p depends on ρ. It is shown that the form for G chosen in the original (1959) scaled particle theory represented an inconsistent but fortunate extension of macroscopic ideas into the molecular domain. Upon the introduction of yet another parameter, δ, the distance between the surface of tension a...
