Using new scaling parameters $\beta_i$, we derive simple expressions for the excess thermodynamic properties of the Mean Spherical Approximation (MSA) for the ion-dipole mixture. For the MSA and its extensions we have shown that the thermodynamic excess functions are a function of a reduced set of scaling matrices ${\mathbf\Gamma}_\chi$. We show now that for factorizable interactions like the hard ion-dipole mixture there is a further reduction to a diagonal matrices ${\mathbf\beta}_\chi$. The excess thermodynamic properties are simple functions of these new parameters. For the entropy we get \[ S=-{{\frac{k V}{3 \pi}}}({\cal F}[{\mathbf\beta}_\alpha])_{\alpha\in {\mathbf \chi}} \] where ${\cal F}$ is an algebraic functional of the scaling matrices of irreducible representations $\chi$ of the closure of the Ornstein-Zernike. The new scaling parameters $\beta_i$, are also simply related to the chemical potentials of the components. The analysis also provides a new definition of the Born solvation energy for arbitrary concentrations of electrolytes.
