Abstract

The statistical method used to obtain the equilibrium distribution of the ortho-

H_{2}

molecular configurations in a solid ortho-para-

H_{2}

solution is described. A mistake made in the derivation quoted in two previous papers from this laboratory is corrected. A tabulation of the respective abundances of the ortho-

H_{2}

molecular configurations (isolated single molecules, pairs, and triangles) as a function of temperature for an ortho concentration

c = 0.01

is presented.
