Question:
Fit the specified model to the methanol(1) + benzene(2) system P-x-y data at 90°C by minimizing the sum of squares of the pressure residual. Plot the resultant fit together with the original data for both phases (data are in problem 11.10), using
(a) One-parameter Margules equation
(b) Two-parameter Margules equation
Data are in problem 11.10
(a) Fit the Margules two-parameter equation to the methanol(1) + benzene(2) system P-x-y data below at 90C (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.
