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
