Abstract

Our principal goal in devising thermodynamic models for the chemical behaviour of crystalline solutions is to provide a realistic basis for the calculation of reaction equilibria, phase diagrams or reaction kinetics. We recognise in this that the activities of the chemical components of crystalline solutions are usually unequal to the mole fractions of those components, and we attempt in forming our models to express chemical activity as a function of composition and of some minimum number of additional variables, preferably not a function of composition.
