A mixture of 92 kg of ZrO2 with 8 kg of CaO is melted into a liquid at high temperature
. a) On slow cooling, at what temperature will solid first appear?
b) What is the composition of this solid?
c) At what temperature will the sample become completely solid?
c) As the sample continues to cool, at what temperature will a second solid phase begin to precipitate?
d) What is the composition of this solid phase?
e) What is the expected composition and relative amounts of the phases expected to be present at room temperature?
