If a solution of eutectic composition is cooled, _______________ reaching the eutectic temperature ?

Correct answer: B. It will undergo no change until

  • A. The solvent begins to freeze out even before
  • B. It will undergo no change until
  • C. It will not solidify even on
  • D. None of these

Explanation

At the eutectic composition, neither component crystallizes preferentially before the eutectic temperature is reached. At that temperature, both solid phases can crystallize together.
