Question: Figure 1 shows the binary eutectic A g - C u phase diagram and g - x C u diagram at 8 5 0 C

Figure 1 shows the binary eutectic Ag-Cu phase diagram and g-xCu diagram at 850C.
a) Explain how the phase equilibria at 850C(observed from the phase diagram) is based
on (or derived from) the Gibbs energy diagram. (3p)
b) What can you say about the mutual interaction between Ag and Cu in Fcc phase? (1p)
c) Explain shortly what is chemical potential i(i.e partial molar Gibbs free energy of
component i in phase ) and how AgLiq and CuLiq can be (graphically) defined from the g-xCu
diagram at 850C, when the nominal composition of the alloy is 40 at-%Cu?(1p)
Figure 1 a) Binary Ag-Cu phase diagram and b)g-xCu diagram from Ag-Cu system at
850C
 Figure 1 shows the binary eutectic Ag-Cu phase diagram and g-xCu
