Abstract
For decades, the properties of liquid mixtures have been analyzed in terms of excess thermodynamic functions. These functions convey global or macroscopic information on the system. In this work, a complementary view, based on the local properties of the same system is suggested. These properties are richer and more informative regarding the local densities, composition and solvation effect. A few examples ranging from Lennard-Jones particles, to inert gas mixtures, to aqueous solutions are presented, stressing the local information that cannot be obtained directly from global properties.
