Chapter 6: PHASE EQUILIBRIA
After studying this chapter, the student should be able:
Determine the number of components and phases in a system.
Use the phase rule to determine the number of degrees of freedom, f.
Recognize the features, such as the presence of allotropes in one-
component system.
Discuss the liquid-vapor equilibrium of binary liquid systems and determine
concentration present using Lever rule.
Describe the processes of isothermal distillation.
Describe the process of distillation.
Discuss condensed binary systems.
Show how thermal analyses is done to determine a phase diagram.
Discuss salt-water phase diagram, solid solution, partial miscibility.
Determine composition from ternary systems.
