• Components:
The elements or compounds which are present in the mixture
(e.g., Al and Cu)
• Phases:
The physically and chemically distinct material regions
that result (e.g., α and β).

Question: What is the 40 (liquid solution S
solubility limit at 20°C? i.e., syrup) (solid

Answer: 65 wt% sugar.
If Co < 65 wt% sugar: syrup 0 20 40 6065 80 100
If Co > 65 wt% sugar: syrup + sugar.
