Abstract
Abstract
In the paper “Re-evaluation of activities of magnesium and zinc components in the magnesium–zinc binary system from very low to high temperature” by Morishita et al. [1], which recently appeared as a Feature Article in this journal, the authors made the following three statements, commencing with the first sentence of the abstract:
1.
The activities of zinc, a
Zn, and magnesium, a
Mg, from very low to high temperatures in the Mg–Zn binary system were evaluated for the first time from the relationship between the Gibbs energies of formation, Δf
G°
T
, of Mg48Zn52, Mg2Zn3, MgZn2 and Mg2Zn11 and their phase equilibria.”
2.
It was found that the a
Zn and a
Mg values in the compounds steeply changed from the minimum to maximum as a function of the composition in a narrow solubility range.”
3.
“…at very low temperatures, a
Zn and a
Mg were very small approaching to zero, …”; “The values of log a
Zn and log a
Mg in the two-phase regions were found to be decreased … and resulted in very small values”.
These three statements are disputed and commented below. For convenience, let us start with the second statement.
