Question no 32 explanation----- Gibbs' phase rule simply counts the number of variables
required to specify the system and the number of relationships between these variables
(constraints). Any failure of Gibbs' phase rule is symptomatic of additional variables or
constraints that have not been taken into account.

This system is generally specified by four variables, the mole fraction of one species in the
liquid phase, xx, the same in the gas phase, yy, the pressure PP, and the temperature TT.
Equilibrium of the liquid and gas phases in both species provides two constraints. The
specification of an azeotrope, for which x=yx=y, provides a third constraint, as has been
mentioned in the comments. One degree of freedom remains.

In vapor-liquid equilibrium, mixtures sometimes occur in which the compositions of the coexisting
vapor and liquid phases are the same. Such mixtures are called azeotropes. Show that a binary
azeotropic mixture has only one degree of freedom. b. In osmotic equilibrium, two mixtures at
different pressures and separated by a rigid membrane permeable to only one of the species
present attain a state of equilibrium in which the two phases have different compositions. How many
degrees of freedom are there for osmotic equilibrium in a binary mixture? c. The phase equilibrium
