A new method for calculating the activity of stable compound from binary phase diagram

A new method to calculate the activity of a stable compound in a binary phase diagram was presented and discussed. According to the formula for calculating activity from the binary phase diagram, the equilibrium constant can be calculated through the mass action principle after the activities of two pure components were computed respectively. Based on that, the activity of a stable compound can be easily obtained at last. The activity of the stable compound InSb is calculated in the In-Sb binary system by using this method. The result is well consistent with another calculation value.
