Duhem–Margules equation

The Duhem–Margules equation, named for Pierre Duhem and Max Margules, is a thermodynamic statement of the relationship between the two components of a single liquid where the vapour mixture is regarded as an ideal gas:

\left ( \frac{d\,\ln\,P_A}{d\,\ln\,x_A} \right )_{T,P} = \left ( \frac{d\,\ln\,P_B}{d\,\ln\,x_B} \right )_{T,P}

where P_A and P_B are the partial vapour pressures of the two constituents and x_A and x_B are the mole fractions of the liquid.
