The two-parameter Margules equation is best described as

  • A.a form of the virial equation for liquids
  • B.an equation of state for polar mixtures
  • C.an empirical expansion of excess Gibbs energy
  • D.a molecular theory of liquid solutions in general

Answer: C

Correct answer: an empirical expansion of excess Gibbs energy

Margules writes the excess Gibbs energy as a polynomial in composition and obtains the activity coefficients by differentiation. It is a correlation with adjustable constants rather than a theory - it fits binary data well and predicts nothing about a system it has not been fitted to, which is what distinguishes it from the models based on local composition.
