A renowned laboratory reports quadruple-point coordinates of 10.2 Mbar and 24.1°C for four-phase equilibrium of allotropic solid forms of the exotic chemical ?-miasmone. Evaluate the claim.

What will be an ideal response?


Using the phase rule ????=2? ????+???? it can be determined that ????=4 for the phases and N = 1 for the one chemical, gives F = -1, which is impossible, making their claim invalid.
