The mixture is not stable and forms two liquid phases. One of the phases as a composition of 28% component 1, while other phase has a composition of 98% of component 1.

Consider the figure that provides the molar Gibbs free energy of mixing as a function of composition for a binary mixture.

If the overall composition of the mixture is 20% of component 1, is the mixture stable? If not, what are estimates of the compositions of the liquid phases that are in equilibrium?


Incorrect. You are probably “drawing” the double tangent line approximately correctly, but need to re-consider the specifications of the mixture.
