Deriving the Wassiljewa mixture model equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the Wassiljewa mixture model equation for a binary solution, specifically finding an expression for the excess Gibbs free energy term, gE. The user has established that setting x1 = 1 and x2 = 0 results in g#(C, x1=1) = c11=g10. To progress, it is suggested to express the mole fractions as x1=0.5+δ and x2=0.5−δ, equating the two functions at δ=0 and determining the necessary derivatives to solve for unknown constants, with the conclusion that s must equal 1.

Homework Statement
Derive the Wassiljewa mixture model equation for a binary mixture.
Relevant Equations
x1+x2 =1
Hello,

I'm in the process of deriving the Wassiljewa mixture model equation for a binary solution. I have to find an expression gE which represents the excess g term which is added to gIS, the ideal solution, to predict the g for a real solution. I have gotten up to a point but now I'm stuck.

I do realize that
  • Setting x1 = 1 and x2 = 0 gives g#(C, x1=1) = c11=g10
Any help is appreciated.

It looks like you already wrote the equation for excess g at the outset. What am I missing?
 
Hello,

I'm aiming for the form in the image attached. I'm unsure of how to get there with what I currently have.

So, you are starting with
1618067221405.png

And you are trying to find the values of r and s that lead to the form of ##g^E## that you showed at the beginning of the post?
 
What about something like this: In both expressions, let $$x_1=0.5+\delta$$and $$x_2=0.5-\delta$$Then set the two functions equal to one another at ##\delta=0## and set as many derivatives with respect to ##\delta## at ##\delta=0## as necessary to determine all the unknown constants.
 
I think that s has to be equal to 1.
