Q520

In an ideal gas mixture, fugacity of a species is equal to its

A.
Vapor pressure
B.
Partial pressure
Answer
C.
Chemical potential
D.
None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution

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