This article describes a new quantitative evaluation method for the degree of dissociation of a compound depending on the curvature of the liquidus line curve. The main point of this method was to determine the specific expressions for dissociation parameters according to the mathematical model of the crystallization line of the compound on the phase diagram. This was based on generally accepted thermodynamic relations. Empirically, it has now been established that for many types of phase equilibria, a common feature is the presence of a correlation dependence between the ratios of the real Gibbs energy of the distribution of components to its ideal component. The osmotic coefficient of Bjerrum–Guggenheim was used as a measure of the deviation of the system from ideality. This coefficient can be in an analytical form depending on the temperature and composition of the phases. The obtained correlation dependence of the osmotic coefficient of Bjerrum–Guggenheim on the ratio of the activity of the liquid and solid phase has been used to develop a mathematical apparatus to analytically describe the lines and surfaces of the crystallization phases. Accordingly, a single analytical basis, as a universal dependence of the modified Schröder–Le Chatelier equation, has been applied. Based on this equation, the conditions have been defined to develop an equilibrium method with which to calculate the thermal dissociation of chemical compounds. The principle of this method has been examined based on the two-component iron-titanium system. The numerical results of the degree of dissociation of the congruent Fe2Ti compound have been obtained using the Gibbs energy of the dissociation reaction and the reaction constant. However, it has been found that the degree of dissociation in the compound Fe2Ti was 0.04%. Demonstrative material for the behavior of the osmotic coefficient of Bjerrum–Guggenheim under boundary conditions has been presented as an assessment criterion of melt structures. The diagrams of the Φi function of the crystallizing phases near the melting temperature of congruently melting compounds (Tm.) have been mathematically studied. Thus, this study demonstrates that Φ (Formula presented.) diagrams tended to zero and approached the melting temperature of the compound (Formula presented.), i.e., above the melting temperature of this compound Φ (Formula presented.) →∞; then, (Formula presented.) →0, and, as a result, (Formula presented.) →1.
