... Energies1
The energies that are given are artificial because, as will be shown in class, the derivatives with respect to composition of the free energy evaluated for pure components, must have infinite magnitude. However, this problem serves to illustrate how phase diagrams are constructed and how they follow from free energy curves. Because the expressions are artificial (they are picked to make the problem tractable) the resulting phase diagram will look a little unusual.
