phase rule, law relating variables of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium, deduced by the American physicist J. Willard Gibbs in his papers on thermodynamics (1875–78). Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are generally considered to be isolated from their environment in some kind of closed container, but many geological systems can be considered to obey the phase rule. The variables are: the number of phases P (forms of matter i.e., solid, liquid, and gas not necessarily of a single chemical component), the number of chemical components C (pure compounds or elements), and the number of degrees of freedom F of intensive variables, such as
