Q255

Fugacity is most helpful in

A.
Representing actual behaviour of real gases
Answer
B.
Representing actual behaviour of ideal gases
C.
The study of chemical equilibria involving gases at atmospheric pressure
D.
None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Fugacity for ideal gas is equal to its pressure but for a real gas it is not equal to pressure higher the difference higher is the non-ideality actually the fugacity coefficient acts as an measure of non-ideality.
