The fugacity of a molecular species is the same in two phases when
these phases are in equilibrium as regards the distribution of that species.
The fagacity of a gas approaches the gas pressure as a limiting
value if the gas is indefinitely rarefied. In other words, the escaping
tendency of a perfect gas is equal to its gas pressure.
‘That these two conditions are sufficient to define a property of every
substance which is not a mathematical, fictitious quantity, but a real
physical quantity, capable of experimental determination in every case,
must now be shown. It is obvious from the above conditions that in

5.3 Fugacity (Previous Exam Question)
Consider a pure substance, whose vapor pressure is PY (T) = 10 bar at T = 300K.
‘The compressibility factor Z in the gas phase is

Please give an answer to the following points:
1a) Which phases can be present at P= 5 bar, P= 10 bar and P= 15 bat?
b) Caleulate the fugacity at P = 5 bar.
6) Calculate the fagacity at P = 15 bar.
£) Draw these (f,P) points on Figure 1 and use them to plot the fugacity as a function of pressure along
the whole range of P from 0 bar to 35 bar.
