Question: Construct the phase diagram, temperature ( C ) vs composition ( mole % B ) , of a binary A - B system from the

Construct the phase diagram, temperature (C) vs composition (mole %B), of a binary A-B system from the following information and_label the fields.
i) A melts at 1100C and B melts at 1000C.
ii) There are two intermetallic compounds in the system. The compound A3B2 melts incongruently at 700C and the compound AB4 melts congruently at 900C.
iii) A has an harr polymorphism at 550C.
iv) The maximum solubility of B in the phase is 2%.
v) There is no solubility of A in B in solid state at all temperatures.
vi) A monotectic reaction occurs at 900C.
L1(15%B)harr(10%B)+L2(??%B)
The amount of the solid phase () just below the monotectic temperature is 80% for the monetectic alloy.
vii) A peritectic transition occurs at 700C.
A3B2harr(7%B)+L(50%B)
viii) A eutectic reaction occurs at 600C.
L(??%B)harrA3B2+AB4
The amount of AB4 just below the eutectic temperature is 50% for the eutectic alloy.
ix) A second eutectic reaction occurs at 800C.
L(86%B)harrB+AB4
x) A eutectoid reaction occurs at 500C.
(4%B)harr+A3B2
xi) B undergoes an allotropic change at 400C.
a) What is the solubility limit of B in A in solid state?
b) Draw the free energy-composition diagram for the room temperature. Show the curves of the stable phases only.
b) Estimate the enthalpy of melting for component B.(Take R=2calmol.K)
 Construct the phase diagram, temperature (C) vs composition (mole %B), of
