The reaction A (l) R(g) is allowed to reach equilibrium conditions in an autoclave. At equilibrium, there are two phases, one a pure liquid phase of A and the other a vapor phase of A, R and S. Initially A alone is present. The number of degrees of freedom are
The reaction A (l) R(g) is allowed to reach equilibrium conditions in an autoclave. At equilibrium, there are two phases, one a pure liquid phase of A and the other a vapor phase of A, R and S. Initially A alone is present. The number of degrees of freedom are Correct Answer 2
$$f = C - \phi + 2 + {\text{ number of chemical reactions}} + {\text{ number of constraints}}$$$$ \Rightarrow {\text{ given number of components}} = 3$$
Number of phase $$=2,$$ number of independent chemical reactions $$=1,$$ number of constraints $$= 1$$ (initially only $$A$$ is present)
So, $$f=2$$
