An expression for the melting curve of an ideal binary ascending solid solution has been derived and tested by comparison with experimental melting curves for three systems. Agreement with experiment is better for two organic binaries (bromobenzene/chlorobenzene and 1.12-benzoperylene-coronene) than for a metal (bismuth/antimony). A theoretical expression for the curvature of liquidus and solidus lines for a binary of components having small latent heats has bccn derived. The curvature is determined solely by the relative magnitudes of the latent heats and melting temperatures of the components.
