Second Phase means the period following the end of the First Phase and prior to the Termination Date.

Now, for the first time, scientists have discovered that it’s possible for matter to exist in two of these states at once. Specifically, the metal potassium can be a solid and a liquid simultaneously, if you treat it just so. Simply apply extreme pressure and extreme temperature and presto!

(Entry 1 of 2) 1 : a particular appearance or state in a regularly recurring cycle of changes phases of the moon. 2a : a distinguishable part in a course, development, or cycle the early phases of her career. b : an aspect or part (as of a problem) under consideration.

A phase is any part of a sample that has a uniform composition and properties. By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.

In the physical sciences, a phase is a region of space (a thermodynamic system), throughout which all physical properties of a material are essentially uniform. Examples of physical properties include density, index of refraction, magnetization and chemical composition.

A phase is a form of matter that is homogeneous in chemical composition and physical state. The number of components (C) is the number of chemically independent constituents of the system, i.e. the minimum number of independent species necessary to define the composition of all phases of the system.

Hint: Three phases: solid, liquid, and vapor (gas solution).

The number of phases, p , is easily countable. You can see that there are p=2 phases: gas and solid. Therefore, f=2+ci−p=2+2−2=2 . This says that you can change two natural variables without moving away from a phase equilibrium ( T , temperature, P , pressure).
