QUEST?ONS:

Q1) Show the Alkameyd Lines (pass only 1 Alkameyd line in the starting point of solid solutions)

Q2) Define Solid solutions with their respective solubility limits (x,y,z) and formulas

M Al2O3 = 102 g/mole, M MgO = 40 g/mole M SiO2 = 60 g/mole

Q3) Determine the eutectic and peritectic points by checking arrow?s directions, indicate with e,p,E,P (10P)

Q4) Indicate the phase boundary of two liquids in equilibrium and one polymorphic transformation including temperatures on the Figure

Q5) For a given composition of %10 SiO2, %73 Al2O3 and %17 MgO, what will be initial crystal to appear in a melt, final crystals and final solidification point, draw cooling path ?

Choice: Same question for a composition: %30 SiO2, %10 MgO, %60 Al2O3

Q6) The X ray analysis of solidified lavas of an unknown volcano indicated some amount of cristobalite, protoenstatite and cordierite phases, what was the approximate temperature of lava close to solidification? Why ?

Q7) Draw vertical section for MgO-Al2O3 to the bottom of the Figure in reverse

Totaly there are seven quesition about figure. If you do all question correctly, I will give you bonus point.
