To date, no model has been shown to predict both solubilities and partial molar volumes in the critical region using the same model parameters for both sets of data. Lattice-gas models are superior to classical equations-of-state and hard-sphere perturbation systems because they can be used to characterize the non-analyticities of the critical point. The Mermin lattice is especially suited for modeling mixtures of different sized molecules since the cell volumes can be adjusted independently. Binary mixtures in which one component is slightly supercritical and the other component is subcritical are modeled with a solvent-analog parametric equation-of-state and the intermolecular potentials. The model is solved for dilute systems so that the crucial unlike potential is isolated. Results for several systems are compared to experimental data taken in our labs and from the literature.
