How do I know its shape???
THE PHASE RULE
F = C + 2 - P
F = degrees of freedom ( How many variables? )
C = components
P = phases

This is a one component system as it containsonly water. Therefore,
F = 1 + 2 P
= 3 P

XB
This is a two component system as it containstwo different compounds. Therefore,
F = 2 + 2 P
= 4 P
I use up one degree of freedom by fixing thepressure.
F = 3 P

A tie line
A tie line
At a given temperature, a tie line tells us what the compositions of the two phases are. It can also tell how much of each is present.
A tie line
At a given temperature, a tie line tells us what the compositions of the two phases are. It can also tell how much of each is present.
The compositions of the phases are deteremined from the ends of the line.
The amounts are determined from the Lever Rule.
Lever Rule
ff f
This is a tie line for system expressed in mass fraction.
f = mass fraction for whole system
f = mass fraction of the phase
f = mass fraction of the phase
Lever Rule
ff f
The system balances like a lever: m f f = m f f
m is the mass of the phase.
A bit more complicated?

T
The T falls because 2 phases give degree of freedom.
The T is fixed because there are 3 phases and zero degrees of freedom.
