The use of the terms formal element,initial and detailed components,and phase and chemical form in modeling of the states of homo- and heterogeneous systems

The terms formal element, initial and detailed components, and phase and chemical form and their use in chemical thermodynamic modeling of the state of substances in homo- and heterogeneous systems with taking into account local and partial equilibria are considered. The detailed component concept is introduced into fundamental equations. The use of the concept of formal elements is illustrated.
