Chapter 3.3, Problem 5E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Reason to mistake eutectic mixture for pure substance should be determined. Also, whether such mixtures have frequent or infrequent occurrence should be determined.

Concept introduction:Eutectic mixture is composed of two or more than two non-interactive components to make new compound but prevents crystallization process of each other. This results in formation of system with melting points less than each of two components.
