The Gibbs-Helmholtz relation is used together withtwo popular semitheoretical excess free energy relations (Wilson’s equation and the NRTL equation) to calculate isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium (xy) data for six highly nonidealbinary systems. This method is shown to produce reliable xy curves directly from measured heat of mixing (/) data and pure component vapor pressures without the necessity of measuring any xy data. This method, coupled with titration calorimetry techniques for measuring AhM easily and quickly, has considerable practical potential for phase equilibrium work. Although Wilson’s equation and the NRTL equation were used, the calculation method is valid for any excess free energy function. The accuracy of the calculated xy data appears to be limited only by the accuracy of the AhM and vapor pressure data and the semitheoretical excess free energy model chosen.\Zapor-liquid equilibrium data are of considerable industrial and academic importance. Although these data can readily be calculated for ideal solutions, most solutions of interest are not ideal in behavior. A great deal of study has been performed on nonideal solutions, but at present no way exists which will permit the accurate theoretical prediction of deviations from ideality. Therefore, one must turn to experimental measure-ment to determine nonidealities for a given system. In this paper, we discuss a method of estimating isothermal vapor-liquid equilibriumwhich does not involve the experi-mental measurement of the composition of either the vapor or liquid in a vapor-liquid equilibrium mixture, a procedure which is often quite laborious. The method consists of using measured heats of mixing to evaluate the constants in semi-theoretical thermodynamic equations which in turn are used to calculate equilibrium data from pure component vapor
