Interpretation:
The degree of freedom for the given system on addition of olive is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The degree of freedom can be defined as the variables used to define a system which is at equilibrium. This can be determined using Gibbs rule which is given below.
In the above equation, F is the degree of freedom, C is number of components present in system and P is the number of phases in the system.
