Figure 5E.4 The phase diagram, at fixed temperature and
pressure, of the three-component system ethanoic acid (E),
trichloromethane (T), and water (W). Only some of the tie lines
have been drawn in the two-phase region. All points along the
line a correspond to trichloromethane and water present in the
same ratio.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Single-phase and two phases exist in three components mixture. The equilibrium of these three components in the mixture is represented by the phase diagram .The phase diagram is called as ternary phase diagram or triangular diagram. The curve in the diagram separates the number of phases.
