Phase diagram for a three-component
system 1
Three-component system
A phase diagram shows the phases existing in equilibrium
at any given condition.
3
Theory
At constant temperature and pressure, the
composition of a ternary system can be presented in
the form of triangular coordinates.

Camphor Water

Rules Relating to Ternary Phase Diagrams:
• Ternary phase diagram is an equilateral triangle.
• Each corner / apex of the triangle represents 100
% of a component and the side opposite to the
corner represents 0 % of that component.
• The distance between the apex and its opposite
side is divided into 100 parts. As we move from the
side of the triangle to the opposite apex the % of
the component increases.
• The area within the triangle represents all possible
combinations of the three components.
• A ternary phase diagram has a miscible region and
immiscible region.
Ternary phase diagrams are used in formulation of elixirs, injections,
lotions, etc. 5

Camphor (C10H16O) is a waxy, flammable, transparent solid with a strong aroma. It
a large evergreen tree found in East Asia. Camphor has poor solubility in water (1 g
ether, chloroform, and other solvents. The alcoholic solution is known as spirits of camphor.
