ENGR50M Homework Set 4

3. Use the phase diagram from the lecture notes on the water sugar system. You start off with a
100 g mixture of 70 wt% sugar and 30 wt% water, heat above the solubility limit to dissolve
the sugar, and then cool the mixture down to room temperature (~20 C).
a. Once the mixture reaches equilibrium, what is the composition of the syrup?
b. Use the lever rule to determine how much rock candy (mass in grams of 100%
crystalline sugar) will be made.

4. Using the attached phase diagram, calculate the mass of each phase present in 1 kg of a 30:70
Ni-Cu alloy at 1300 oC, 1225 oC, and 1150 oC and the composition of the phases. Note: A
higher magnification of a portion of the Ni-Cu phase diagram is shown directly below the full
phase diagram.

5. A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 55 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of


mass fractions of 0.5 for both a and b phases. If the composition of the b phase is 90 wt% B
and 10 wt% A, what is the composition of the a phase?

6. For the spontaneous melting of body-centered cubic (BCC) titanium into liquid titanium, list

b. The change in entropy, DS
c. The change in enthalpy, DH
