The equation of state for stellar envelopes. IV - Thermodynamic quantities and selected ionization fractions for six elemental mixesThe free-energy minimization technique in the form developed in the preceding papers in this series is employed to evaluate thermodynamic quantities and ionization fractions on a fine temperature and density grid for six astrophysical mixtures of 15 elements. The mixtures range from that appropriate to super-metal-rich stars, through solar abundance, to that for extreme Population II objects. In this paper, the results for solar abundances are summarized in a form that is illustrative and which facilitates comparison with the results from other equation of state calculations.
