Abstract
The Phase Rule as propounded by Willard Gibbs1 underlies the study of phase equilibria and is of basic importance in the representation of such equilibria by means of equilibrium (phase) diagrams. Reference should be made to other sources3,6 for accounts of the derivation of this Rule and the assumptions involved, and here only a brief indication of its significance is given.
