In this work, the author pointed out that empirically to compare the molecular interaction volume model (MIVM) with thermodynamic definition of excess Gibbs energy would result in the incorrect expressions of enthalpy of mixing and excess entropy. The correct expressions of molar and partial molar enthalpies of mixing and excess entropies from the MIVM are consistent thermodynamically and are suggested for replacing their past incorrect ones. The simplification of Zi = Z = 10 is verified to be feasible by the average errors of fitting in the binary liquid alloys M-P (M = Cr, Fe, and Mn) and of predicting in the ternary liquid alloys Fe-Cr-P and Fe-Mn-P by using two coordination numbers of phosphorus ZP = 3.04 and ZP = 8.96. Further, their simplified forms are proposed for predicting easily thermodynamic properties of a multicomponent liquid system and are preliminarily tested to be coordinated mutually in the binary liquid alloys Au-Cu, Cd-Zn, Ca-Zn, and Ni-Pb.
