Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pure substance in a single phase has two independent variables, according to the phase rule, which states that the number of degrees of freedom (independent variables) is given by F = C - P + 2, where C is the number of components and P is the number of phases. For a pure substance (C=1) in a single phase (P=1), F = 1 - 1 + 2 = 2.
