Question: Q 3 ( 2 5 % ) . Isothermal ( integral molar ) free energy curves for the binary A - B system are shown

Q3(25%). Isothermal (integral molar) free energy curves for the binary A-B system are shown in
the attached figure; pure A is on the left, pure B on the right.
A and B can form solid or liquid solutions
In solid solution A and B can form an A-rich -phase or B-rich -phase
In the figures, green is -phase (I), blue is -beta-phase (II) and red is liquid solution (III)
Pure A melts at Tm,A and pure B at Tm,B and Tm,A>Tm,B
T1 is midway between the melting points of pure A and pure B
T2 is below both melting points and T2>TE
TE is temperature line for eutectic point
Based on this information: Identify in each figure the phase or phases present at equilibrium and
the composition range for each phase or phases.
