Abstract The composition and the equation of state for a binary mixture of dense partially ionized hydrogen and helium are investigated on the basis of quantum statistical theory. Theoretical evidence for the existence of a hydrogen‐like and helium‐like plasma phase transition is found. Critical data for the phase transitions are given for the whole range of the mixing parameter.
