In the following, we consider the compounds to be completely insoluble in the solid phase
i ( s )( p, T ) = i ( s )( p, T )
(2)
where i ( s )( p, T ) is the chemical potential of the pure solid compound Ai at pressure p and
temperature T. Complete miscibility in the liquid phase leads to
i (l)( p, T , xi (l)) = i (l)( p, T ) + RT ln( f i (l), xi (l))
(3)
where i (l)( p, T ) represents the chemical potential of the pure liquid compound Ai. While the
activity coefficients f i (l)( p, T , xi (l)) in real systems depend on the composition of the liquid
phase, in systems exhibiting nearly ideal behavior f i (l) 1, which, as a result of the experimental
findings, can be considered fulfilled in the following. The temperature T at which the two
coexisting phases are in equilibrium at constant pressure is then related to the mole fraction xi (l)
of the liquid melt by

(4)
where m H i = hi (l) hi ( s ) is the molar heat of fusion and Ti is the melting point of the pure
substance Ai. In deriving eq (4), m H i is considered to be constant in the temperature range
investigated. The coexistence curve between the liquid mixture and the pure solid Ai in the
(T , xi (l)) diagram extends from the pure substance to the eutectic composition; that is, 1 xi (l)
xi , E (l) for i = {1,2}.
The eutectic point ( xi , E (l), TE ) in an ideal binary system (where x1 (l) + x2 (l) = 1) with
given quantities Ti and m H i can be obtained by numerical analysis (e.g. using Maple or
Mathematica) or by a simple iterative approximation (Fig. 1).
The two liquidus curves described by eq (4) cross at the eutectic composition when
T ( x1 (l)) = T ( x2 (l )) . Table 2 lists eutectic compositions and temperatures that have been
calculated for our binary systems using the data of the pure components as given in Table 1. The
cryoscopic constant R (Ti ) 2 / m H i is the slope of the liquidus curve T ( xi (l )) at xi (l) = 1.

no solid solubility. The two curves (dotted lines) described by eq. (4) intersect at the eutectic point at
x1, E (l) . The light solid straight lines show the asymptotic freezing point depression near the pure
components. This diagram represents the binary system p-dichlorobenzene (1)phenanthrene (2).
The simplest possible two-component phase diagram is one in which no solid solutions or

when F is the degree of freedom, C is the number of component, and P is the number of phase.
These are temperature, pressure, and the composition of one of the two components.
Since studies of solid-liquid equilibrium are nearly always carried out at constant
pressure, one degree of freedom is lost and the phase rule becomes
F = CP+1 = 2P+1 = 3P
(6)
Thus, temperature and the composition are the variables, and these may be plotted on ordinary
graph paper.
THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS
Let us continue with this point of view, and think of the system at point a2 as a saturated
solution of solid B in the solvent A. At point a2, then the following equilibrium is established
between solid B and a solution of mole fraction xB :
B
B (solid) = B (solution)
(7)
(8)
If we choose as the standard state a solution of unit mole fraction (xB = 1), then the
B
relationship between the free energy per mole at any xB and the free energy per mole in the

At this point let us write Equation (4) in two steps to indicate first the solution process
involving the fusion of the solute, and then the ideal mixing of the liquid solute with the already
liquid solvent, for which H (mix) = 0:
B (solid) = B (liquid) = B (solution)
(14)
H (fus) H (mix)
H (soln)
Heat of Solution
When the solution process is ideal, H (mix) = 0, so that H (solution) = H (fusion),
and eqn (13) can be written as
ln x B
H B (fusion )
=
R
(1/T ) p
(15)
Consequently, data from phase diagrams such as Fig. 1 can be used to determine heats of fusion
of both components,since a plot of ln xA against (1/T) gives a straight line of slope equal to the
heat of fusion of A, and a plot of ln xB against (1/T) gives a straight line of slope equal to the
B
heat of fusion of B (both divided by R). In this manner heats of fusion for many nonelectrolytes
and metals can be determined, if the two components form an ideal solution which is not
uncommon.
Ideal Solubility
Integration of Equation (13) leads to another interesting interpretation of ideal
solubilities:
ln x B

temperature T, HB (fus) is the heat of fusion of B, and TBo is the melting point of pure B:
B
ln x B
H B (fusion) 1

(17)
What is remarkable about this equation is that it states that the solubility of B expressed in mole
fraction is the same in all solvents, and that the solubility depends only on two properties of the
solute B: the heat of fusion of B and the melting point of pure B. Whether A or B is considered
the solvent or solute is immaterial; it is conventional to look upon the substance present in the
larger amount as the solvent. Consequently, we can rewrite eq (17) for substance A:
ln x A =
H A (fusion) 1

Equations (17) and (18) are valid for ideal solutions. To check the validity of these equations, let
us examine the solubility of p-dibromobenzene in a number of solvents in which it forms nearly
ideal solutions, as shown in Table 3. The solubility in mole fraction agrees quite well with the
mole fraction calculated with eq (17). Not surprisingly, the agreement is best with bromobenzene
as solvent.

of a solute at temperature T. Alternatively, we can look at T as the temperature at which the solid
and liquid phases are in equilibrium (eq. (14)). The phase diagram is a plot of this temperature
against composition (mole fraction). Let us rearrange eqs (17) and (18) so that the solid-liquid
equilibrium temperature T is expressed explicitly in terms of composition and two properties of
the solvent-heat of fusion and melting point:

PROCEDURES
1. Make two series of runs: A-rich series, beginning with pure A, followed by systems made
by successive additions of B to the previous run beginning with pure A; and B-rich series
similarly prepared. Weight to 0.01 g. Some approximate weights are given in Table 4.

2. Heat the sample tube of mixture in a water bath until it is melted. Then remove the sample tube
from the water bath and measure the temperature periodically (e.g., every minute) until the
system is essentially solid. The relationship between the cooling curves and the phase
diagram is shown in Fig. 4.
3. When a pure substance cools, the temperature falls smoothly until the freezing point is reached;
then the temperature halts, as shown for curve 1 (Fig. 4a), when the solid A begins to
solidify.

TREATMENT OF RESULTS
1. Graph the cooling curves and phase diagram (the same as Fig. 4). Tabulate the compositions,
observed eutectic temperatures, and two-phase temperatures for the various runs.
2. Construct a phase diagram from your observations. Tabulate and plot ln x versus 1/T for both
A and B.
3. Calculate the heat of fusion.
4. Compare your heats of fusion with the literature values. With the literature values for the heat
of fusion and melting points of pure A and B, construct phase diagram based upon ideal
solution behavior (eqs 19 and 20).
5. Compare your observed phase diagram, eutectic temperature, and composition with the
calculated values and calculated phase diagram.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Some of the above compounds are known carcinogens and should not be allowed to
contact skin. Others smell bad and it may be advantageous to carry out the measurements in a
hood. Take care not to touch a hot test tube.
