(a) Fit the Margules two-parameter equation to the n-pentane(1) + acetone(2) system P-x-y data below at 1 bar (Lo et al. 1962. J. Chem. Eng. Data 7:32) by fitting to x₁ = 0.503. Plot the resultant fit together with the original data for both phases.

(b) Compare the data with the predictions of the MAB model.
