Answer #1

According to Gibbs Phase rule

F = C - P + 2

F is the number of degrees of freedom or number of variable to define phase

C is the number of components

P is the number of phases

For pure substance C = 1

So, F = 1 - P + 2

F = 3 - P

Case 1: For two phase regions i.e P =2

F = 3 - 2

F = 1

therefore two phase regions need only one variable to completely define phase

Case 1: For single phase regions i.e P =2

F = 3 - 1

F = 2

therefore single  phase regions need two variable to completely define phase
