Abstract :
The coordination numbers in the Molecular Interaction Volume Model (MIVM) can be calculated from common physical quantities for pure metals. A significant advantage of the model lies in its ability to predict thermodynamic properties of solutes in Pb-based dilute solutions using only binary infinite dilute activity coefficients, and the predicted values are in good agreement with the experimental data for Pb-based dilute solutions. This shows that the model is reliable, convenient and economic.
