Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Porosity of a dry particle bed in an ore, bulk density of the ore in the bed and absolute density of the ore should to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Porosity (also called as void fraction) is the measure of void spaces in a material. Mathematically,
Porosity of dry particle bed = Void volume / Total bed volume
Bulk density of the ore =

For the binary A-B ideal-solution, differentiate the equation for the configurational entropy of mixing with respect to concentration. Hence show that the slope of the free energy of mixing versus concentration curve is towards tinfinity when the mole fraction is 0 or 1. Does this make it easy or hard to purify materials?
