✦ Synopsis
For homogeneous systems the equation of Wilson has been shown to be very suitable for the correlation of activity coefficients derived from vapour-liquid equilibrium data. A general survey of minimizing criteria and methods suitable for the determination of the constants of this equation is described. This allows their significance and their mutual differences to be elucidated. A method awarding a statistical weight to each experimental point is developed. An attempt is made to determine a quantitative criterion for comparison of correlation methods and to elucidate what part of the deviation got by different methods and/or by means of different sets of data is real and what part is due to the randomness of the data.

The NRTL equation proposed by Renon and Prausnitz has been discovered to have some properties that may complicate its use. Specifically, there is more than one set of parameters, r,\* and Q,, which fit given solubility data with a fixed value of the nonrandomness parameter. Also, some sets of parame
