We investigate the effect that a neutral component has on the liquid–vapor coexistence curve and the surface tension of an ionic fluid. Molecular dynamics simulations of a ternary mixture containing ions and neutral particles are performed. We found that the vapor branch is dominated by neutral particles and the liquid phase by ions. A comparison of our results and those of the soft primitive model...
