Calculating Partial Molar Properties
To calculate the partial molar property of a binary solution, one begins with the pure component denoted as and, keeping the temperature and pressure constant during the entire process, add small quantities of component ; measuring after each addition. After sampling the compositions of interest one can fit a curve to the experimental data. This function will be . Differentiating with respect to will give . is then obtained from the relation:
