However, there are cases where the complexrty of the system and the amount of experrmental data requrre an additional parameter for the descriptron of at least some of the brnaries. Such an extension of the subregular Eqs. (1) and (2) to a “subsubregular” case IS given below: A

because much less computational work must be done with can be represented in a 2 - dimensional matrix instead
of a 4 - dimensional one. An explicit but arbitrary setting of the parameters is illustrated in a simple FORTRAN program, Table I, for the calculation of activities and activity coefficients according to Eq. (4). It is not recommended to extend this “subsubregular” equation further, because higher order polynomials usually tend to oscillate around the experimental data points - at least up to a managable polynomial order. If the accuracy is still unsufficient one should consider specific interactions of the components like in an associated solution or a sublattice model. The Gibbs - Duhem consistency of Eqs. (3) and (4) can be proved as outlined below. The mole fractions in Eq. (3) are substituted by the mole numbers of component i, ni, and the total mole number, n o, according to xi = ni/no. Then, by definition of the partial quantity, we have
