o
μi − μi = Δμi = RT ln(ai ) The acitivity ai of a solution @ constant pressure (P) and
temperature (T).

The activity of a liquid we could say stands for the fugacity in gases. This comes into
the picture when we deviate from our ideality inside solutions.

The activity of a pure component is defined as follows:

︿L
f
a = ︿ iO -------> a = γ i xi
fi
We can say that γ acts as the activity coefficient, similar to the φ fugacity coefficient.
as:
γ = ax also γ = ffugacity
