The lead-silver system is a simple eutectic system, so its two components are

  • A.completely miscible in the solid state
  • B.able to form a stable intermetallic compound
  • C.partially miscible with a critical temperature
  • D.completely immiscible in the solid state

Answer: D

Correct answer: completely immiscible in the solid state

A simple eutectic diagram, with no solid solubility at either end, implies that the two metals reject one another entirely on freezing. This is what makes the Pattinson process work: cooling argentiferous lead deposits pure lead crystals, leaving the silver concentrated in the remaining melt.
