Hydrogen peroxide and water form a eutectic mixture, exhibiting freezing-point depression.
To improve the salt properties it must be mixed in a eutectic mixture.
This mixture is called the eutectic mixture or simply the eutectic.
The eutectic mixture melts at the relatively low temperature of 183 C.
Note that the eutectic mixture at point E always has the same composition.
Microscopic examinations show that crystals of zinc are embedded in the eutectic mixture.
Small crystals of cadmium are interspersed in the finely divided eutectic mixture.
The eutectic mixture formed at this point is called the cryohydrate.
Sodium chloride and water form a eutectic mixture.
Reactor salts are usually close to eutectic mixtures to reduce their melting point.
