Chapter 5, Problem 5D.6AE

(i)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility of silver $\left(\text{Ag}\right)$ in tin $\left(\text{Sn}\right)$ at $800°\text{C}$ has to be calculated using the given phase diagram.

Concept introduction:

The azeotropic mixture is defined as a mixture of two or more liquids which evaporates without altering the composition of the mixture.  The azeotropic mixture has a constant boiling point because of the same composition in liquid as well as vapor phase.  The components of azeotropic mixture are not separated by distillation processes.

The phase diagram represents the changes in the mixture on changing the parameters like temperature and pressure of the mixture.

(ii)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility of ${\text{Ag}}_{\text{3}}\text{Sn}$ in silver $\left(\text{Ag}\right)$ at $460°\text{C}$ has to be calculated using the given phase diagram.
