Abstract
This paper is concerned with helping students in an undergraduate physical chemistry course to interpret various geometric regions in reduced two-component phase diagrams in which either temperature or pressure is constant. This aim is accomplished by correlating the dimensionality of a geometric region with the degrees of freedom of the system obtained from the phase rule.

Gavin D. Peckham and Ian J. McNaughtJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (5), 592-593Before teaching two-phase equilibria in the traditional piecemeal manner, it is proposed that an initial overview of a particular “complete” two-component phase diagram would be beneficial.
