Phase diagrams graphical representation

Phase diagram Graphical representation of the phase structure of a system as a function of an experimental parameter (pressure, temperature, composition, etc.). 

While classical phase diagrams provide a powerful methodology for grasping the thermodynamic behavior of few-component systems, it is evident that the restricted 2D or 3D realm of human graphical intuition cannot adequately cope with the complexities of many-component systems. Hence, it is important to find generalized analytical techniques that can accurately represent many-component phase behavior for arbitrary values of c. Such techniques will be considered in the metric geometric representation of multicomponent phenomena (Chapter 12). 

Phase diagrams are graphical representations of the relationships between pressure, temperature, and the state of a substance. You should be able to read and interpret phase diagrams for the AP test. 

Related Calculations. Graphic representation of liquid-liquid equilibrium is convenient only for binary systems and isothermal ternary systems. Detailed discussion of such diagrams appears in A. W. Francis, Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium, Interscience, New York, 1963. Thermodynamic correlations of liquid-liquid systems using available models for liquid-phase nonideality are not always satisfactory, especially when one is trying to extrapolate outside the range of the data. 

Figure 5.8a gives the proportions of SO2 in the gas and aqueous phase as a function of pH. For pH < 5, sulfur dioxide occurs mainly in the gas phase for pH > 7, it occurs mainly in the solution phase. The fraction of SO2 in the aqueous phase is given in Figure 5.8b as a function of q (water content) for a few pH values. The double logarithmic graphic representation is particulariy convenient to plot the equilibrium distribution of the aqueous sf>ecies (Figure 5.8c). For a sketch of this diagram it is convenient to recall the following ...

Phase diagrams describe the phases of a substance that exist under various combinations of temperature and pressure in a graphical representation. 

A phase diagram is a graphic representation of the phase behavior of a system under study. The behavior of a single component as a function of temperature and pressure can be represented on a phase diagram, which will show the conditions under which a material is a solid, liquid, or gas. More complex phase diagrams may involve several components. Phase diagrams are very useful tools for formulation, as they allow one to define not only the acceptable composition range of a product but also enable one to optimize the order of addition of the different raw materials.
