3 Phase diagrams Phase:is a form of matter that is uniform throughout in chemical composition and physical state. Phase transitions:the spontaneous conversion of one phase into another phase,occurs at a characteristic temperature for a given pressure. Transition temperature:the temperature at which the two phases are in equilibrium and the Gibbs energy of the system is minimized at the prevailing pressure.

4 A phase is a component within a system,
existing in a precisely defined physical state, e.g. gas, liquid, or a solid that has a single crystallographic form. A phase diagram is a graph showing values of applied pressure and temperature at which equilibrium exists. A phase boundary is a line on a phase diagram representing values of applied pressure and temperature at which equilibrium exists.

5 The triple point on a phase diagram represents the value of pressure and temperature at which three phases coexist at equilibrium
