Duhem–Margules equation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Duhem–Margules equation, named for Pierre Duhem and Max Margules, is a thermodynamic statement of the relationship between the two components of a single liquid where the vapour mixture is regarded as an ideal gas:
where PA and PB are the partial vapour pressures of the two constituents and xA and xB are the mole fractions of the liquid. The equation gives the relation between changes in mole fraction and partial pressure of the components.
