Note that the molar fraction of the leptonic species $Y_{\rm L}$ does not appear in Eqs. (3)-(4). In the thermodynamic conditions relevant to superbursts, the plasma can be considered as totally ionized. The condition of electroneutrality allows the calculation of $Y_{\rm L}$ once the Y_i's are known. (Cox & Giuli 1968).
