For ten points, identify this type of mixture in which substances are dissolved in one another in liquid form, such that the mixture liquefies at the lowest temperature.
Rapid cooling of one of these substances results in a lamellar structure of alternating layers, and the ratios required to create one of these can be deduced from its namesake point on a binary phase diagram. Cadmium and bismuth form one at a ration of about 2 to 3, and examples in geochemistry include the olivine-pyroxene system. Sodium forms one of these with all the other alkali metals, and a common example of one of these is the lead-tin alloy used in soldering.
