DISCUSSION
QUESTIONS
a) Component
A distinct chemical species in a mixture. The number of components
is the least number of different substances required to describe the
composition of all phase in the system.
b) Phase
A homogenous part of a heterogeneous system that is separated
from another part by distinguishable boundary.
c) Triple point
The temperature and pressure at which the vapour, liquid and solid
phases of a substance are in equilibrium
d) Critical temperature
The temperature at which a substance change phase and a point on
pressure temperature curve which liquid and vapour are
distinguishable and merge to form single phase.
CONCLUSION
From the experiment, the eutectic temperature (49 oC) and the
composition of the eutectic mixture for the naphthalene and p-
nitrotoluene system was determined.
