We propose a mechanism which naturally contains the relation $\mu_{B} = 3\mu_{S}$ of the hadronic gas produced in heavy-ion collisions at CERN. Our starting assumption is the existence of a sharp front separating the quark-gluon plasma phase from the hadronic phase. Energy-momentum conservation across the front leads to the following consequences for an adiabatic process a) The baryon chemical potential, $\mu_{B}$, is approximately continuous across the front. b) The temperature in the hadronic gas is higher than the phase transition temperature due to superheating. c) In the region covered by the experiments the velocity of the hadronic gas approximately equals the speed of sound in the hadronic gas.
