V.M. Goldschmidt (1911) revealed a geological form of the phase rule. Based on his
Ph.D. thesis, he showed that most rocks are subjected to range of temperatures and pressures,
this phase indicating formation under equilibrium conditions. If f is equal to 2, then p equals
c, and if f is greater than 2, then p is less than c. This states, derived from summarized in
Goldschmidts mineralogical phase rule, which states that the number of minerals that can
coexist in equilibrium in a rock is equal to or less than the number of components making up
the rock. The apllied of this phase rule in figure 3 -1, to stay on the equilibrium line by
arbitrarily varying either temperature or pressure, but we cannot stay on the line if we are
select new values for both temperature and pressure.
although there are problems in applying the phase rule as such to the study of rocks,
an extension of this thermodynamic approach to phase equilibria provides information on
variations in pressure, temperature, chemical potentials , of component and mole fractions
N, of components. Spear et al. (1982) describe a procedure for studying metamorphic rocks
that can be summarized asa follows :
PHASE DIAGRAMS
The simplest type of phase diagram involve only one component, with temprature and
pressure as variables for example, we have kyanite and sillimanite in equilibrium at about 8
kilobars 725 C, and then arbitrarily change the temprature to 825 C, the pressure will have to
be changed for about 10 kilobars to keep the two minerals in balance with one another.
It should be taken on the basis of variations that can occur in a system. for igneous
and metamorphic rocks, simple oxides such as K2O, Al2O3, etc., usually selected as a
component, SiO2, Al2O, Na2O, K2O, and H2O .the same components will be listed on
gneiss consists of quartz, orthoclase, albite, muscivite and kyanite.
