Excess molar quantity

An excess quantity is a characteristic of a mixture of substances, which describes the deviation from ideal behavior.

Typical excess properties are

  • Heats of mixing
  • Excess Gibbs free: serves for the determination of activity coefficients using so-called models
  • Excess heat capacity
  • Excess volumes
  • Excess pressure: deviation from ideal behavior of the vapor pressure according to Raoult
