Conjugate phases

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-002440

Two immiscible phases that are in equilibrium with each other, meaning that the chemical potential of each component is the same in both phases. These phases typically arise from the partial miscibility of two or more components in a mixture. An example is the two liquid layers formed when water and oil are mixed and allowed to separate.
