In this case, the phase rule predicts two coexisting phases in equilibrium. The number of components, \c\, is the minimum number of substances or mixtures of fixed composition from which we could in principle prepare each individual phase of an equilibrium state of the system, using methods. Commonly, phase diagrams are calculated for a pressure fixed to 1 bar, in which case the gibbs phase rule reduces to 1. It is the number of external variables that can be changed independently without disturbing the number of phases in equilibrium. The lever rule can be used to calculate the amounts of the two.
