Phase equilibria: solubility limit

Introduction– Solutions – solid solutions, single phase– Mixtures – more than one phase

• Solubility Limit: Max concentration for which only a single phase solution occurs.

Question: What is the solubility limit at 20°C?

Answer: 65 wt% sugar. If Co < 65 wt% sugar: syrup If Co > 65 wt% sugar: syrup + sugar. 65

Components and phases

• Components: The elements or compounds which are present in the mixture (e.g., Al and Cu)• Phases: The physically and chemically distinct material regions that result (e.g., α and β).

• Rule 1: If we know T and Co, then we know: --the # and types of phases present.

• Examples:A(1100°C, 60): 1 phase: α

• Examples:
