Question

A hypothetical p-q alloy of composition 55 wt% q- 45 wt% p at some temperature is found to consist of weight fractions of 0.5 for both and phases. If the composition of the phase is 90 wt% q 10 wt% p, what is the composition of the phase?

Answer 1

Step 1 of 3

Given:

Alloy : 55 wt% B – 45 wt% A

Mass fraction of α and β : 0.5

β phase composition : 90 wt %B – 10 wt% A
