Is Phase Diagram and Equilibrium Diagram are same.

Question

Accepted Answer

No, Phase Diagram and Equilibrium Diagram are not the same.

Phase Diagram represents the relationships between different phases of a substance at different conditions of temperature and pressure.
Equilibrium Diagram, on the other hand, represents the equilibrium conditions between different phases of a substance at a specific temperature and composition.
Phase Diagram is a broader concept that includes Equilibrium Diagram as a specific case.
Equilibrium Diagram is a subset of Phase Diagram that focuses on the equilibrium conditions only.
Phase Diagrams are used to understand the behavior of materials during phase transformations, while Equilibrium Diagrams are used to determine the stability of different phases under specific conditions.
