A general analytical power-series solution of the Gibbs–Duhem equation in multicomponent systems of any number of components has been developed. The simplicity and usefulness of the solution is made possible through the choice of a special set of composition variables.

Vapour pressures and equilibrium liquid–vapour mole fractions have been determined for the solvent system ethanol–acetone at 32°, 40°, and 48 °C. in a modified form of the apparatus developed by Ferguson and Funnell. It is shown that the data are consistent with the Gibbs Duhem equation if it be assumed that deviations from ideality in the vapours may be computed from the principle of Corresponding States. It is also shown that the variation of the activities of the components in the liquid with temperature is in moderate agreement with the heat of mixing data for the system.

In this paper, we generalize to 2-mode states the 1-mode state results obtained in a previous paper. We study 2-mode Gaussian density matrices (i.e., density matrices of the form: exponential of a quadratic polynomial in the creation and annihilation operators for the two modes). We find a linear transformation which maps the two annihilation operators, one for each mode, into two new annihilation operators that are uncorrelated and unsqueezed. This allows us to express the density matrix as a product of two 1mode density matrices. We find general conditions under which 2-mode Gaussian density matrices become pure states. Possible pure states include the 2-mode squeezed pure states commonly mentioned in the literature, plus other pure states never mentioned before. We discuss the entropy and thermodynamic laws (Second Law, Fundamental Equation, and Gibbs-Duhem Equation) for the 2-mode states being considered. We study the change in entropy that is produced when a 2-mode Gaussian state is subjected to a measurement of the complex amplitude of one of its two modes. We derive upper and lower bounds for the final (i.e., after the measurement) entropy of the unmeasured mode, and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the achievement of these bounds. The existence of the bounds is shown to be a consequence of the concavity property of the entropy function.
