Metrics for estimating vapour pressure deviation from ideality in binary mixtures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A novel method is introduced for estimating the degree of interactions occurring between two different compounds in a binary mixture resulting in deviations from ideality as predicted by Raoult’s law. Metrics of chemical similarity between binary mixture components were used as descriptors and correlated with the Root-Mean Square Error (RMSE) associated with Raoult’s law calculations of total vapour pressure prediction, including Abraham descriptors, sigma moments, and several chemical properties. The best correlation was for a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) equation using differences in Abraham parameters as descriptors (r2 = 0.7585), followed by a QSAR using differences in COSMO-RS sigma moment descriptors (r2 = 0.7461), and third by a QSAR using differences in the chemical properties of log KAW, melting point, and molecular weight as descriptors (r2 = 0.6878). Of these chemical properties, Δlog KAW had the strongest correlation with deviation from Raoult’s law (RMSE) and this property alone resulted in an r2 of 0.6630. These correlations are useful for assessing the expected deviation in Raoult’s law estimations of vapour pressures, a key property for estimating inhalation exposure.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
