According to Gibb's Phase rule,
\(F=C-P+2\)
Where,
F is the the number of degrees of freedom, C is the number of chemically independent constituents of the system, and P is the number of phases.
Explanation:
We know that, \(F=C-P+2 \)
\(P=C+2-F \)
Given,
For one component system, \(C=1\)
Now we get, \(P=1+2-F=3-F\)
For P to be maximum, F should be equal to zero.
Hence, \(P=3-F=3-0=3\)
Conclusion: -
The maximum number of phases that can be simultaneously in equilibrium for a one component system is 3. So the option 3 is correct.
