TWO COMPONENT SYSTEMS (C=2)
System containing two different chemicalconstituents is called a 2 C system
For the analysis of2 C systems following termsneed to be understood
(i) Reduced phase rule
(ii) Eutectic Mixture
(iii) Cooling Curve

Reduced Phase Rule
The degrees of freedom of any 2 C system can beascertained by the application of phase rule
F = C - P + 2 or = 2 P + 2 or = 4 P
Since the minimum no of phase is 1 in any 2C
system, the maximum no of degrees of freedom
in a 2C system can be 3.
It means 3 variables are required to describe the systemcompletely

To analyze these variable a 3 D graph is needed to be
drawn.
Since it is difficult to draw a 3D graph, so for the sake of
convenience, P is taken as constant
(because in 2C systems consisting only solid and liquid phase,
vapor phase is not +nt, effect of v.p. is negligible)
So the value ofF is reduced by 1.
In such a case, phase rule reduces to
F = C - P + 1
So the phase diagram is drawn in between T & Composition

Eutectic Mixture
System with a mixture of two substances which are miscible in allproportions in liquid phases but do not react chemically is called aEutectic System
(Eutectic = easy to melt)
The components of eutectic system has the property to lowering the
freezing point of each other
A eutectic mixture is defined as the mixture of 2 substances in solidphase which has the lowest freezing point.
e.g. when Pb (m.p.=327C) and Ag (m.p.=961C) are mixed in ratio,
97.4% Pb and 2.6% Ag, the resulting mixture is called eutecticmixture with a freezing point at 303C (lower than Pb & Ag)

Eutectic temperature OR Eutectic point
The lowest freezing Temp. obtained in a eutectic system
Applications of Eutectic Mixtures
1. As safety devices in fire extinguishers, automobiles and boilers
2. In preparing solders for joining 2 metal pieces together
Very low melting alloys can be made by suitable choice of metals
e.g. An alloy containing 50 % Bi, 25 % Pb, 12.5 % Cd & 12.5 % Sn has a
m.p. of 65 C.
This alloy is called woods metal.

COOLING CURVE OF A 1 COMPONENT SYSTEM
A cooling curve represents the decrease in temp.
of a system when it is continuously cooled Consider a 1 C system consisting of a
chemical X
At point A system is in liquid phase.
On cooling, T of system decreases
along line AB.
Suppose the T corresponding to point
B is the freezing point of chemical X
Then, at point B, freezing of chemical
X will start.
At point c, only solid phase is +nt and further cooling will decrease
the T of X so CD is obtained
Further cooling will result in complete freezing of X (line BC)(conversion of liq. phase into solid)

COOLING CURVE OF A 2-COMPONENT SYSTEM
Consider a 2 C system consisting a mixture of 2 chemicals X & Y
On cooling the system, T decreases alongline AB
Suppose point B corresponds to thefreezing of X, then freezing of X will start
at point B but Y will remain in liq phase.Hence line BC is obtained
At point C, chemical Y will also start
freezing and line CD is obtained
At point D only solid phase is +nt
Hence curve DE represents the cooling ofsolid
T corresponding to CD is
called eutectic T, as it is the
lowest freezing point.

Within ACB a homogeneous singlephase of molten liquid of twocomponents (Pb and Ag) existsi.e. P=1, C=2
Applying the reduced phase rule-
F= C P + 1 = 2 1 +1 = 2 (T & C)
Hence system in area ACB is bivariant(to describe any point in area ACB,both T and C have to bespecified)

It can be seen from the graph that below the tie line DD,
corresponding to the eutectic temp. (303C), only solidphases co-exist
For compositionbelow the tie lineDCD,
The area below DC, contains Pb (s) & solid Eutecticmixture of Pb & Ag
The area below CD, contains Ag (s) & solid Eutecticmixture of Pb & Ag

Desilverizatio of LeaPATTINSONS PROCESS
If a molten liq. ofargentiferrous lead of
composition X (0.1% Ag) is allowed tocool gradually solid Pb crystallizes outat the point Y (at T) on the AC curveand the composition of theargentiferrous lead changes along YCwith the enrichment of Ag.
The crystallized Pb is constantlyremoved.
The melt becomes continuously richerand richer in the Ag content until theeutectic point C is reached where thecontent of Ag is 2.6%.
This process of increasing the relativeproportion of Ag in argentiferrous Pb isknown as Pattinsons process.
