UNIQUAC
Okay, so imagine you have a bunch of little friends (molecules) that you want to mix in a cup. When you mix them they may stick together and form little groups or they may spread out evenly. Uniquac is a way to figure out how these friends like to mix together.
To do this, we need to think about what each friend likes. Some friends really like to hang out with each other and some friends don't like to be around certain other friends. We call this "interacting" and it's kind of like how some people get along really well and some people don't.
Now, for each friend, we can figure out how much they want to interact with each other friend. We use a special number to represent this, kind of like test scores. This number tells us how much each friend likes to be around each other friend.
Then, we use a special formula to add up all these scores and figure out how much the friends will stick together or spread out. This formula is called the Uniquac equation.
So, in summary, Uniquac is like a game where we figure out how much little friends (molecules) like to hang out with each other and then use that information to figure out how they will mix together in a cup.
