A Fe-P liquid alloy is in equilibrium with a solid solution and a gas phase at 1560 C. The solid solution behaves ideally and contains two components, CaO and Ca3P2O8 (3CaO.P2O5). The P content in the solid solution is 12.1 wt.%. The gas phase includes 1.610^-10 atm oxygen. The activity of P in the alloy, with respect to the 1 wt.% in Fe standard state ((1 % )) is 26.01.
The given data follows:
3 CaO (s) + P2O5 (g) = Ca3P2O8 (s) = 1083210 + 237.5 (J/mol)
P2 (g) = P(1 wt% in Fe) = 122200 19.2 (J/mol)
a) Calculate for the reaction P2 (g) + 5/2 O2 (g) = P2O5 (g) at 1560 C.
b) Calculate the activity of P in the alloy with respect to the Henrian std. state (hP) at 1560 C.
