Lever rule and general interpretation of binary phase diagrams

At ‘b’
Composition of Solid – An = 100% An (lever rule cannot be applied
here)
At ‘c’
Composition of solid – An = 100% An
Composition of liquid (mc)= 68% An + 32% Di
Applying lever rule:
% Solid = mc-c/mc-c1 --- 23 An
% Liquid = c-c1/mc-c1 --- 77 Melt/liquid
At ‘c’
Composition of solid – An = 100% An
Composition of liquid (mc)= 59% An + 41% Di
Applying lever rule:
% Solid = md-d/md-c1 --- 38 An
% Liquid = d-d1/md-c1 --- 62 Melt/liquid
