(a) Fit the Margules two-parameter equation to the methanol(1) + benzene(2) system P-x-y data below at 90°C (Jost, W., Roek, H, Schroeder, W., Sieg, L., Wagner, H.G. 1957. Z. Phys. Chem. 10:133) by fitting to x₁=0.549. Plot the resultant fit together with the original data for both phases.

(b) Compare the data with the predictions of the MAB model.
