/*!
 * MolalityVPSSTP is a derived class of ThermoPhase that handles variable
 * pressure standard state methods for calculating thermodynamic properties that
 * are further based on molality-scaled activities. This category incorporates
 * most of the methods for calculating liquid electrolyte thermodynamics that
 * have been developed since the 1970's.
 *
 * This class adds additional functions onto the ThermoPhase interface that
 * handle molality based standard states. The ThermoPhase class includes a
 * member function, ThermoPhase::activityConvention() that indicates which
 * convention the activities are based on. The default is to assume activities
 * are based on the molar convention. However, classes which derive from the
 * MolalityVPSSTP class return `cAC_CONVENTION_MOLALITY` from this member
 * function.
 *
 * The molality of a solute, \f$ m_i \f$, is defined as
 *
 * \f[
 *     m_i = \frac{n_i}{\tilde{M}_o n_o}
 * \f]
 * where
 * \f[
 *     \tilde{M}_o = \frac{M_o}{1000}
 * \f]
 *
 * where \f$ M_o \f$ is the molecular weight of the solvent. The molality has
 * units of gmol/kg. For the solute, the molality may be considered
 * as the amount of gmol's of solute per kg of solvent, a natural experimental
 * quantity.
 *
 * The formulas for calculating mole fractions if given the molalities of the
 * solutes is stated below. First calculate \f$ L^{sum} \f$, an intermediate
 * quantity.
 *
 * \f[
 *     L^{sum} = \frac{1}{\tilde{M}_o X_o} = \frac{1}{\tilde{M}_o} + \sum_{i\ne o} m_i
 * \f]
 * Then,
 * \f[
 *     X_o =   \frac{1}{\tilde{M}_o L^{sum}}
 * \f]
 * \f[
 *     X_i =   \frac{m_i}{L^{sum}}
 * \f]
 * where \f$ X_o \f$ is the mole fraction of solvent, and \f$ X_o \f$ is the
 * mole fraction of solute *i*. Thus, the molality scale and the mole fraction
 * scale offer a one-to-one mapping between each other, except in the limit of a
 * zero solvent mole fraction.
 *
 * The standard states for thermodynamic objects that derive from MolalityVPSSTP
 * are on the unit molality basis. Chemical potentials of the solutes, \f$ \mu_k
 * \f$, and the solvent, \f$ \mu_o \f$, which are based on the molality form,
 * have the following general format:
 *
 * \f[
 *    \mu_k = \mu^{\triangle}_k(T,P) + R T ln(\gamma_k^{\triangle} \frac{m_k}{m^\triangle})
 * \f]
 * \f[
 *    \mu_o = \mu^o_o(T,P) + RT ln(a_o)
 * \f]
 *
 * where \f$ \gamma_k^{\triangle} \f$ is the molality based activity coefficient
 * for species \f$k\f$.
 *
 * The chemical potential of the solvent is thus expressed in a different format
 * than the chemical potential of the solutes. Additionally, the activity of the
 * solvent, \f$ a_o \f$, is further reexpressed in terms of an osmotic
 * coefficient, \f$ \phi \f$.
 * \f[
 *     \phi = \frac{- ln(a_o)}{\tilde{M}_o \sum_{i \ne o} m_i}
 * \f]
 *
 * MolalityVPSSTP::osmoticCoefficient() returns the value of \f$ \phi \f$. Note
 * there are a few of definitions of the osmotic coefficient floating around. We
 * use the one defined in (Activity Coefficients in Electrolyte Solutions, K. S.
 * Pitzer CRC Press, Boca Raton, 1991, p. 85, Eqn. 28). This definition is most
 * clearly related to theoretical calculation.
 *
 * The molar-based activity coefficients \f$ \gamma_k \f$ may be calculated from
 * the molality-based activity coefficients, \f$ \gamma_k^\triangle \f$ by the
 * following formula.
 * \f[
 *     \gamma_k = \frac{\gamma_k^\triangle}{X_o}
 * \f]
 * For purposes of establishing a convention, the molar activity coefficient of
 * the solvent is set equal to the molality-based activity coefficient of the
 * solvent:
 * \f[
 *     \gamma_o = \gamma_o^\triangle
 * \f]
 *
 * The molality-based and molarity-based standard states may be related to one
 * another by the following formula.
 *
 * \f[
 *   \mu_k^\triangle(T,P) = \mu_k^o(T,P) + R T \ln(\tilde{M}_o m^\triangle)
 * \f]
 *
 * An important convention is followed in all routines that derive from
 * MolalityVPSSTP. Standard state thermodynamic functions and reference state
 * thermodynamic functions return the molality-based quantities. Also all
 * functions which return activities return the molality-based activities. The
 * reason for this convention has been discussed in supporting memos. However,
 * it's important because the term in the equation above is non-trivial. For
 * example it's equal to 2.38 kcal/gmol for water at 298 K.
 *
 * In order to prevent a singularity, this class includes the concept of a
 * minimum value for the solvent mole fraction. All calculations involving the
 * formulation of activity coefficients and other non-ideal solution behavior
 * adhere to this concept of a minimal value for the solvent mole fraction. This
 * makes sense because these solution behavior were all designed and measured
 * far away from the zero solvent singularity condition and are not applicable
 * in that limit.
 *
 * This objects add a layer that supports molality. It inherits from
 * VPStandardStateTP.
 *
 * All objects that derive from this are assumed to have molality based standard
 * states.
 *
 * Molality based activity coefficients are scaled according to the current pH
 * scale. See the Eq3/6 manual for details.
 *
 * Activity coefficients for species k may be altered between scales s1 to s2
 * using the following formula
 *
 * \f[
 *     ln(\gamma_k^{s2}) = ln(\gamma_k^{s1})
 *        + \frac{z_k}{z_j} \left(  ln(\gamma_j^{s2}) - ln(\gamma_j^{s1}) \right)
 * \f]
 *
 * where j is any one species. For the NBS scale, j is equal to the Cl- species
 * and
 *
 * \f[
 *     ln(\gamma_{Cl-}^{s2}) = \frac{-A_{\phi} \sqrt{I}}{1.0 + 1.5 \sqrt{I}}
 * \f]
 *
 * The Pitzer scale doesn't actually change anything. The pitzer scale is
 * defined as the raw unscaled activity coefficients produced by the underlying
 * objects.
 *
 * ### SetState Strategy
 *
 * The MolalityVPSSTP object does not have a setState strategy concerning the
 * molalities. It does not keep track of whether the molalities have changed.
 * It's strictly an interfacial layer that writes the current mole fractions to
 * the State object. When molalities are needed it recalculates the molalities
 * from the State object's mole fraction vector.
 *
 * @todo Make two solvent minimum fractions. One would be for calculation of the
 *       non-ideal factors. The other one would be for purposes of stoichiometry
 *       evaluation. the stoichiometry evaluation one would be a 1E-13 limit.
 *       Anything less would create problems with roundoff error.
