One way to determine a structural defect model (such as that shown in the figure below for a solid solution of Al2 O3 in MgO) is to make careful density measurements. O2- AP+ Mg2+ o Vacancy A substitutional solid solution of Al½O3 in MgO is not as simple as the case of NiO in MgO. The requirement of charge neutrality in the overall compound permits only two Al+ ions to fill every three Mg²+ vacant sites, leaving one Mg²+ vacancy.

In this problem you will model the mixing energy of a mixture in a relatively simple way, in order to relate the existence of a solubility gap to molecular behavior. Consider a mixture of A and B molecules that is ideal in every way but one: The potential energy due to the interaction of neighboring molecules depends upon whether the molecules are like or unlike. Let n be the average number of nearest neighbors of any given molecule (perhaps 6 or 8 or 10). Let Uo be the average potential energy associated with the interaction between neighboring molecules that are the same (A-A or B-B), and let UAB be the potential energy associated with the interaction of a neighboring unlike pair (A-B). There are no interactions beyond the range of the nearest neighbors; the values of Uo and UAB are independent of the amounts of A and B; and the entropy of mixing is the same as for an ideal solution. Find a formula for the total potential energy when the system is mixed, in terms of x, the fraction…
