Thanks for creating this article

I created two redirects to this article: Clausius-Clapeyron equation and Clausius-Clapeyron relation. Both redirects use the ordinary dash ( - ) on our keyboards. The difference between that and the dash that I think you used is ( - – ). Most readers will probably use the keyboard dash to search for this article. Anyhow, thanks for creating this article.

Suggested revision of lead-in sentence

Paul, to me, a single-component is a single pure compound like say butane and liquids like gasoline or an aqueous solution of ethanol (which are mixtures of compounds) are not single-component systems. In the lead-in sentence, should it be revised to say "...an equation for a system consisting of two phases of matter in ..." rather than the current "...for a single-component system consisting of two phases in ..." ?
