It can be written mathematically as F equals C minus P minus M plus 2, but only applies in the absence of electric, magnetic, and gravitational phenomena.
It can be written mathematically as F equals C minus P minus M plus 2, but only applies in the absence of electric, magnetic, and gravitational phenomena. The C represents the number of chemical species, M is the number of independent chemical reactions, and P represents all homogeneous, mechanically separable portions of the system. Simply put, it can be used to calculate the number of degrees of freedom in a chemical system. FTP, identify this relationship used to determine the number of state variables in a system and which was derived by a man better known for his free energy.
