24 Chemical Equilibria
If we start with the three components, the gaseous phase is equimolecular
in ammonia and hydrogen chloride.
Another example is given by the decomposition of calcium carbonate:
< Ca CO >=< CaO > + {CO 2 } [1R.5]

If, at the initial time, we begin with a mixture of the three components in
arbitrary proportions because they belong to different phases, the
transformation is always azeotropic.
