689:) curve will have two minima and a maximum in between. This results in phase separation. In general there will be a temperature where the three extremes coalesce and the system becomes fully miscible. This point is known as the 159: 599: 521: 678:= 0.5 and the enthalpy term that has a maximum there. At high temperatures, the entropic term in the free energy of mixing dominates and the system is fully miscible, but at lower temperatures the 438: 362: 608:
that if the first Margules expression holds, then the other one must have the same shape. A regular solutions internal energy will vary during mixing or during process.
