At 150 degree Celsius, a mixture of 40 wt % Sn and 60 wt % Pb present, forming phases of alpha and beta. Chemical composition of Sn at each phase : CO (overall) : 40 %, CA (alpha) : 11 %, CB (beta) : 99 %. (a) State 2 reasons for the existences of alpha and beta phases for the mixture of Sn – Pb at 150 degree Celsius. (b) By using Lever Rule, calculate the weight fraction of each phase for alpha, WA = Q / (P Q) and beta, WB = P / (P Q) where Q = CB – CO and P = CO – CA.

Answer Posted / kang chuen tat (malaysia - pen

(a) Reasons : (1) atomic radii difference; (2) different crystal structure. (b) P Q = CO – CA CB – CO = CB – CA, then WA = Q / (P Q) = (CB – CO) / (CB – CA) = (99 – 40) / (99 – 11) = 0.6705. WB = P / (P Q) = (CO – CA) / (CB – CA) = (40 – 11) / (99 – 11) = 0.3295.

We wanted to know how to impart various colors to copper wire by simply dipping them into various chemicals, formulations, etc. This copper wire is to be used by us for our hobby of making various art objects from copper wire.
