A Mixture consisting of two components.
Apart from a wide practical value Binary Mixtures have a zoomed value in academic studies which help understand and model behaviour of all mixtures.
The Gibbs phase rule for Binary Mixtures is:
| (1) | F = 4 - P |
where
F | number of degrees of freedom |
C | number of mixture components |
P | number of phases |
It particularly means that Two-Phase Equilibrium of Binary Mixture ( P=2, \, F=2) is going to occupy a 2-dimensional area on Phase Equilibrium Diagram.
