Simple Ionic Substitution Ions of similar radius and charge substitute for one another in a coordination site in any proportions. Composition of end member is expressed in terms of: Specificformula Mineral name Position on thetieline Proportion of eitherendmember (A % or B%)  SUBSTITUTION (IONIC) SOLID SUBSTITUTION 1. Simple Ionic Substitution Tie Lines are lines that connect mineral phases that coexist with each other at a specific condition. 1,500 oC z 1,000 oC y x 500 oC A B 25% 50% 75% 100%  SUBSTITUTION (IONIC) SOLID SUBSTITUTION 1.

Coupled Ionic Substitution Simultaneous substitution of ions of different charges in two different structural sites and preserves the electrical neutrality of the crystal lattice. For ion (B) to replace another ion (A) while maintaining neutral charge, an equal amount of replaced ion (A) is concurrently substituted by another ion (C). 2 A2+ → B3++ C+  SUBSTITUTION (IONIC) SOLID SUBSTITUTION 2.

Limited Ionic Substitution Significant differences in ionic radii or charge of ions limits the substitution, resulting to a Limited Solid Solution. Miscibility Gaps are gaps in solid solution, having immiscible liquids that do not mix with certain proportions.  SUBSTITUTION (IONIC) SOLID SUBSTITUTION 3.

It determines the solid solubility limit which changes with temperature. PHASE DIAGRAMS % Composition  GIBB’S PHASE RULE Governs the number of phases that can coexist in equilibrium in any system.  GIBB’S PHASE RULE P = C + 2 -F P = number of phases in a system C = minimum number of chemical components that define the phases in the system F = number of degrees of freedom or variance.  GIBB’S PHASE RULE Invariant Equilibria = neither P or T can be changed Univariant Equilibria = either P or T is independently changed, which changes the other variable. DivariantEquilibria = both P & T are free to change independently without changed the state of the system PHASE DIAGRAMS Examples  UNARY PHASE DIAGRAMS Silica (SiO2) H2O Carbon CaCO3  BINARY PHASE DIAGRAMS  LEVER RULE Calculates the proportions of melt (liquid) and crystals (solid) in a system.
