A simple description of the forces in a homovalent disordered alloy allows a prediction of the excess entropy of mixing in terms of the excess volume and the volumes. entropies and Gruneisen parameters of the pure metal components. To within the usually rather large experimental errors, the theory is quite successful. Some implications for more general systems emerge.
