24. The number of added salt molecules should be large enough as to produce a noticeable effect in the calculation and yet low enough as to represent a reasonable macroscopic concentration. A number of ca. 20 molecules (producing a macroscopic concentration of 1.2 M) represents a good compromise.
25. Strictly speaking, the interactions represented by ω, ω′, etc. are not first order. However, due to the rigidity of the two cycles, the same or very similar interactions appear for a given position of one bond regardless of the orientations of the other two. For this reason, they are assigned to orientations over just one bond.
