Question

Which statement is not true regarding eutectic point?

a. mixture of two crystalline compounds A and B has a lower melting point than the melting point of individual compounds A and B themselves.

b. a mixture of two liquids A and B has a lower boiling point than the individals liquids A and B themselves.

c. in graphical form, the x-axis of the mole fraction of A and B is represented, and on the y axis the melting point is represented

d. eutectic point is essentially melting point depression where either A is regarded as an impruity in B, or B is regarded as an impurity in A

Explanation / Answer

c) is not correct

the y-axis presents the temperature of the system, not the melting point of the system... of course eventually you are going to cross with this special point
