The negative value for ΔmixGom confirms that the mixing reaction is exothermic
Predominance diagrams are important in many applications in materials science. Which parameter is
usually not plotted on the Y-axis in such diagrams? Composition
For Ellingham diagrams only one of the statements below is correct: The slopes of the lines in the
diagram are determined by the entropy change of the oxide formation reaction
because ∆mixHom is negative for all compositions in this system so the liquid mixture here shows
negative deviation from ideality.
A first order phase transition is defined by: a discontinuous change in enthalpy, entropy and/or
volume
ΔtrsS/ΔtrsV
Which thermodynamic variable do you use when you want to calculate the energy you are producing
in a fireplace by the reaction C+O2=2CO2 at a fixed temperature? ΔH°reaction = 2ΔH°CO2 – (ΔH°C + ΔH°O2)
A critical point in a single-component phase diagram corresponds to: The T and p limit for coexistence
between liquid and gas
What is the difference between total H and ΔH (in the DIA module in HSC) at a given temperature for
e.g. FeO
ΔH is the enthalpy of formation at a given temperature, and H is the enthalpy of formation at 298K
plus latent heat up to given temperature
The excess molar Gibbs energy of mixing of a binary system A-B is defined as:
. For Ellingham diagrams one of the following statements is correct: the oxides that are lower in the
diagram are the hardest to reduce
We do not have any data for ΔHoreaction, but we can calculate ΔGoreaction.
ΔGoreaction = - RT· ln K
A simple eutectic system with no solid solubility can be described by a model assuming:
ideal liquid solution and that the activity of each of the two solids is equal to 1
What do we call the symbol ∆mixGm? Integral molar Gibbs energy of mixing
A congruently melting intermediate solid compound: melts under the formation of a liquid with the
same composition
When the standard molar excess Gibbs energy is equal to the standard molar enthalpy of mixing, it is
hinted that the activity coefficient can be related to the partial enthalpy of mixing
Critical temperature – the temperature where the density of the liquid and gas is equal

A stoichiometric phase is a phase that contain exactly the amount of compounds given by the
formula, it means that it has no solid solution from one of the compounds. As an example SiC will
have 50 at.% Si and 50 at% C. In a phase diagram a stoichiometric phase will be shown as a thin line
(that is no solid solution).
If the chemical potential of the elements is not the same in all phases, there are two mechanism:
If the temperature is not the same in all phases, heat conduction will occur (and
possible convection and radiation)
If the pressure is not the same in all phases, a flow will occur if liquids or gases are
present.
