Consider the following statements about the phase rule.

1. A mixture of gases constitutes one phase   2. A eutectic mixture is a chemical compound   3. The reduced phase rule applies where pressure is held constant

  • A.1 and 2 only are correct
  • B.1 and 3 only are correct
  • C.1, 2 and 3 are all correct statements about the phase rule
  • D.2 and 3 only are correct

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 3 only are correct

Statements 1 and 3 are correct: gases mix in all proportions and form a single phase, and the reduced rule is exactly the constant-pressure case. Statement 2 is the standard misconception - a eutectic melts sharply but is a mechanical mixture of two solid phases, not a compound.
