Interpretation of phase diagrams

Concentrations: Tie-line method a)  locate composition and temperature in diagram b)  In two phase region draw tie line or isotherm c)  note intersection with phase boundaries. Read compositions. Fractions: lever rule a)  construct tie line (isotherm) b)  obtain ratios of line segments lengths.
