MCQs on Phase Diagram

1 - Question

Which of the following equation represents the Gibbs phase rule?
a) F = C + P + 2
b) F = C – P + 2
c) F = C + P + 1
d) F = C + P – 1
View Answer Answer: b
Explanation: The Gibbs phase rule is represented as: F = C – P + 2, where F = number of intensive degrees of freedom, P = number of phases and C = minimum number of independent constituents.



2 - Question

Number of degrees of freedom at a triple point in unary phase diagram is?
a) 1
b) 10
c) 0
d) -1
View Answer Answer: c
Explanation: A unary phase diagram has a single component thus, at triple point, the number of degrees of freedom, according to Gibbs phase rule F = 1 – 3 + 2 = 0.



3 - Question

The invariant reaction involving, a liquid phase decomposing into two different solids on cooling is known as _________
a) Eutectoid point
b) Eutectic point
c) Peritectic point
d) Peritectoid point
View Answer Answer: b
Explanation: The eutectic invariant reaction in general can be represented as: L Cooling−→−−−− S1 + S2 where, L represent the liquid of eutectic composition and S1 and S2 are two different solids of fixed composition each. advertisement



4 - Question

The invariant reaction involving a solid phase decomposing into two different solids on cooling is known as ____________
a) Eutectoid point
b) Eutectic point
c) Peritectic point
d) Peritectoid point
View Answer Answer: a
Explanation: The eutectoid invariant reaction is a solid-state version of the eutectic reaction and in general, can be represented by an equation: S1 Cooling−→−−−− S2 + S3 where, S1, S2 and S3 are three different solids each of fixed composition.



5 - Question

The invariant reaction involving a liquid phase and a solid phase changing into a single solid phase on cooling is known as ____________
a) Eutectoid point
b) Eutectic point
c) Peritectic point
d) Peritectoid point
View Answer Answer: c
Explanation: A peritectic reaction in general can be represented by an equation: L + S1 Cooling−→−−−− S2 where, L represents a liquid of fixed composition, S1 and S2 are two different solids of fixed composition each.



6 - Question

The invariant reaction involving two solid phases changing into a single solid phase on cooling is known as ___________
a) Eutectoid point
b) Eutectic point
c) Peritectic point
d) Peritectoid point
View Answer Answer: d
Explanation: The peritectoid invariant reaction is a solid-state version of the peritectic reaction and in general, can be represented by an equation: S1 + S2 Cooling−→−−−− S3 where, S1, S2 and S3 are three different solids each of fixed composition.



7 - Question

For binary phase diagram Gibbs phase rule may be given as ____________
a) F = C + P + 2
b) F = C – P + 2
c) F = C – P + 1
d) F = C + P – 1
View Answer Answer: c
Explanation: Binary phase diagrams has two components. Apart from temperature and pressure, we will be having one composition variable for each of the phases in equilibrium. In order to simplify the Gibbs phase rule on paper (in 2D), binary phase diagrams are usually drawn at atmospheric pressure, showing variations in temperature and composition only. Pressure changes often produce no significant effect on the equilibrium and, therefore, it is customary to ignore the pressure variable and the vapour phase. The modified condensed rule is represented as: F = C – P + 1



8 - Question

The Line joining a liquid phase with liquid and solid phase mixture is known as ____________
a) Liquidus
b) Solidus
c) Tie line
d) Solvus
View Answer Answer: a
Explanation: Liquidus is the line joining liquid phase with liquid and solid phase mixture.



9 - Question

a) Liquidus
b) Solidus
c) Tie line
d) Solvus
View Answer Answer: b
Explanation: Solidus is the line joining liquid phase with liquid and solid phase mixture.
