**Excess Gibbs Energy of a Binary Mixture**

One expression that has been suggested for the excess Gibbs energy of a binary mixture that is asymmetric in composition is given by:

\[ G^{ex} = Ax_1 x_2 (x_1 - x_2) \]

### Problems:

**a.** Find expressions for the activity coefficients in which \(\gamma_1\) is specified in terms of \(x_2\) and \(\gamma_2\) in terms of \(x_1\).

**b.** Does this excess Gibbs energy model satisfy the Gibbs-Duhem equation?

**Note:** Attached contains part a) solution and part of part b) solution. I need help finishing part b (taking the partial derivatives).

#### Thermodynamics Equations and Derivations

1. **Equation Definitions and Relationships**

- \( G^{ex} = A \cdot x_1 x_2 (x_1 - x_2) \)

- \( RT \ln \gamma_2 = \left( \frac{\partial (N G^{ex})}{\partial N_2} \right)_{N_1TP} \)

- \( RT \ln \gamma_1 = \left( \frac{\partial (N G^{ex})}{\partial N_1} \right)_{N_2TP} \)

---

2. **Derivation Steps**

- Given: \( G^{ex} = A \cdot x_1 x_2 (x_1 - x_2) \)
  
- \[ G^{ex} = c A \left(\frac{N_1}{N_1 + N_2}\right) \left(\frac{N_2}{N_1 + N_2}\right) \left( \frac{N_1 - N_2}{N_1 + N_2} \right) \]

- Simplifying: \( G^{ex} = A \frac{(N_1 N_2) (N_1 - N_2)}{(N_1 + N_2)^3} \)

  - Use the relationship of \( \frac{N_1}{N} = x_1 \)
  - And \( \frac{N_2}{N} = x_2 \)

- \[ RT \ln \gamma_2 = \left( \frac{\partial (N G^{ex})}{\partial N_1} \right)_{N_2TP} = \frac{\partial}{\partial N_1} \left( A \frac {N_1 N_2 (N_1 - N_2)}{(N_1 + N_2)^2} \right) \]

---

3. **Gibbs-Duhem Equation**

- \( \sum \left( x_i d \ln \gamma_i \right) = 0 \)

---

4. **Partial Derivatives and Gibbs-Duhem Simplification**

- For \( x_1 \):
  \[ x_1 \frac{d \ln \gamma_
