Instructions
After selecting the type of compound and element(s) you wish to investigate
click on 'See Ellingham diagram' button.
In addition to 2 metallic elements you may also select C and / or H.
The Ellingham diagram on the next page will show the graphs for the elements chosen.
To view the data on the right hand side of the page click on a line, then move the scrollbar slider to view data.
In addition this will display 1 or 2 other activities
(a) opportunity to view non-standard data - fill in activity of
element in the blue box and press 'Enter'
(b) if an oxide system was selected then a 'Construct' button
will appear. Clicking this will construct a line from (0,0) through
the crosshair and indicate the partial pressure of oxygen under these
conditions.
Click on the 'Construct' button to see determination of partial pressure of oxygen
