Question: Consider a binary liquid mixture for which the excess Gibbs energy is given by G E /RT = Ax 1 x 2 . What is

Consider a binary liquid mixture for which the excess Gibbs energy is given by GE/RT = Ax1x2. What is the minimum value of A for which liquid/liquid equilibrium is possible?

To the xy diagram provided in Fig. 12.23. This diagram shows xy curves both for ethanol(1)/ethyl acetate(2) and for chloroform(1)/tetrahydrofuran(2), both at a constant pressure of 1 bar. The curves are intentionally unlabeled.
