Figure below is a binary eutectic copper-silver phase diagram. Consider if 500 grams of an 88 wt% Ag–12 wt% Cu alloy is slowly cooled from 1000oC to 700oC. α-phase is copper-rich solid solution and β-phase is silver-rich solid solution. Density of copper and silver is 8.96 g/cm3 and 10.49 g/cm3 respectively. At 700oC, determine the: 1)composition of the phases present.

Figure below is a binary eutectic copper-silver phase diagram. Consider if 500 grams of an 88 wt% Ag–12 wt% Cu alloy is slowly cooled from 1000oC to 700oC. α-phase is copper-rich solid solution and β-phase is silver-rich solid solution. Density of copper and silver is 8.96 g/cm3 and 10.49 g/cm3 respectively.

At 700oC, determine the:
