Question: ( 2 5 points ) ( a ) Considering the binary regular solution of C u - F e shown in Figure 1 , any

(25 points)(a) Considering the binary regular solution of Cu-Fe shown in Figure 1, any small negative composition deviation from xCu=0.5 will spontaneously drive bar(G)Cu=RTlnaCu to -, i.e. drive aCu to 0. We know this won't happen. Please use G-D eqn to explain why not. (5 points)(b) Please use the G-H eqn to discuss how activity coefficient Fe changes with rising temperature for the Cu-Fe system? Is this mixing an endothermic or exothermic ( or ) process? HINT: Thinking how a rising T changes the system toward an ideal behavior. (5 points)(c) If you measure the GM of Cu-Fe(1:1) melt at T=1540C and (:TmCu=1322C} and found that GminM is not at xCu=0.5, please draw the deviated GM and the ideal GidM on Figure 2.(5 points)(d) If you keep the Cu-Fe system at a particular T and xCu and find ase is smaller than the expected value, what experiment operations can you do to make aFe toward the expected value? (5 points) Explain why it is not regular and why your operation can make it "more regular". (5 points) HINT: Thinking G-H eqn and how much GM deviated from Raoultian behavior.
