This chapter presents a general method for estimating nonidealities in a vapor mixture containing any number of components this method is based on the virial equation of state for ordinary substances and on the chemical theory for strongly associating species such as carboxylic acids. The method is limited to moderate pressures, as commonly encountered in typical chemical engineering equipment, and should only be used for conditions remote from the critical of the mixture.
