The degree of freedom depends on the

number of phases present at equilibrium.
Three cases are prossible:

1. P= 1 ; F= 2 (Bivariant system)
2. P= 2 ; F= 1 (Univariant system)
3. P= 3 ; F= 0 (Invariant system)
z

• On curve

F= C – P + 2
1 – 2 + 2 = 1 (univariant)

• In areas (solid, liquid or gas)

F= C – P + 2
1 – 1 + 2 = 2 (bivariant)

• At triple point
F= C – P + 2
1 – 3 + 2 = 0 (zerovariant or
invariant)
