In the following phase diagrams, the binodal curve is marked with a continuous line, and the spinodal curve is dashed. For each diagram, describe the state of the system at the ends of the arrow (stable, unstable and will decompose into two phases with the composition (
{(
:\phi _(1),\phi _(2))}, meta-stable), and what would happen if the process described by the arrow is carried out (formation of one stable phase, spinodal separation, formation of one meta-phase). In all graphs,
\phi is between 0 and 1
