11.1. FREEZING OF IDEAL SOLUTIONS AND IDEAL SOLUBILITY

Before discussing melting point diagrams, a note on ideal solubility relations is in order. Assume that a crystalline substance A is dissolved in water, and assume that the two do not form solid solutions. If a plot is made of the mole fraction Xs at which one or the other solid phase (ice or drug) is in equilibrium with a solution, then a diagram such as shown in Fig. 11.1 results.
