A
Phase diagram is a graphical representation of all the equilibrium phase as a function of temperature, pressure and composition.
A mole fraction of a molecule in a mixture is the ratio of number of moles of particular molecule to the sum of number of moles of all molecules in the mixture. Equation for mole fraction of a molecule in a mixture of three molecules (A, B and C) is,
A eutectic mixture is a mixture of two or more phases at a composition that has the lowest melting point and it is where the phases simultaneously crystallize from molten solution.
