Temperature-composition diagrams
Temperature-composition diagrams are visual tools used in chemistry and materials science to show how a mixture's temperature relates to its composition at different stages of heating or cooling. They help us understand how different substances in a mixture separate or combine as temperature changes. These diagrams display phases such as liquid, solid, or vapor and illustrate conditions like melting points, boiling points, and areas where phases coexist. They are essential for designing processes like metal alloy production, crystallization, or distillation, providing a clear picture of how mixtures behave under various thermal conditions.
