Question: When an originally homogeneous high - temperature mineral, containing cations of considerably different size, is allowed to cool to low temperature, it always separates into

When an originally homogeneous high-temperature mineral, containing cations of
considerably different size, is allowed to cool to low temperature, it always separates
into two (or possibly more) distinct crystalline minerals. The above phenomenon is
called exsolution. Please use the below equation and plot the curve of
Gmixing-composition at high and low temperatures to explain the reason of the
occurrence of exsolution .
Gmixing=Hmixing-TSmixizg
