An improved analytical group solution model has been developed and applied to mixtures containing the groups methylene and hydroxyl. The new model predicts molecular activity coefficients for alcohol/n‐alkane and alcohol/water systems with an accuracy of about 5%. Predictions are equally good for systems of alcohols and n‐alkanes of the same chain length; earlier models give poor predictions for these newly‐measured systems.
