Common Intersection Points of Binary-Mixtures - Unlike Interactions Compared to Like Ones
In the present work the existence of a common compression factor paint for binary mixtures has been investigated, both experimentally and theoretically. We found that the linear isotherm regularity (LIR) is able to predict the common compression factor point and the common bulk modulus point for binary mixtures, as well as pure dense fluids. An important conclusion deduced from this work is that a physical interpretation for such points may be given using LIR. The LIR along with the mean geometric approximation (MGA) have been used to relate the density at the common points of a mixture to those of its pure components. The numerical investigation shows that such a relation may be represented by a quadratic function in terms of the system composition for most mixtures. However, we have found that such a quadratic relation is generally valid for all investigated mixtures. An important result obtained from this work is that we may get information about the magnitude of interactions between unlike molecules, compared to chose of like interactions. Such a result can be used to predict the deviation of a solution from ideality without having any vapor pressure data.
