When various phases are in equilibrium with one another in a heterogeneous system, there can be no transfer of energy or mass from one phase to another. Real materials are almost always mixtures of different elements rather than pure substances. Phase diagrams can equilibrium exist over a range of conditions or whether a system must be bought to a definite pressure, temperature and composition before equilibrium is established. Phase rule states that if the equilibrium between any number of phases is not influenced by gravity, or electrical, or magnetic forces, or by sur face action but are influenced only by.
