3

What is the degree of freedom for a system with a one-component system like the dissociation of ammonium chloride?

0

What is the equation that represents the phase rule?

Univariant

What is the relationship between the vapour pressure of a metastable phase and that of a stable phase at the same temperature?

The vapour pressure of the metastable phase is always higher than that of the stable phase.
