Mixtures and colligative properties#

Raoult’s-law P-x-y diagrams, Henry’s law for dilute solutes, van’t Hoff’s osmotic pressure and the colligative properties, and the Margules, Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC activity-coefficient models for non-ideal solutions: the ethanol-water azeotrope, liquid-liquid phase splitting, and the combinatorial/residual decomposition.
