To calculate the fugacity of isobutane as a gas at 85°C and 13 bar, you can use an

appropriate equation of state. The fugacity of a component in a gas mixture can be


estimated using the following equation:

��=�⋅��⋅��fi=P⋅γi⋅xi

Where:

• ��fi is the fugacity of component �i.


• �P is the pressure of the system (in this case, 13 bar, which should be
converted to appropriate units).
• ��γi is the fugacity coefficient of component �i.
• ��xi is the mole fraction of component �i in the gas mixture.

First, let's convert 13 bar to the appropriate units, which are typically in Pa (pascals).

1 bar = 100,000 Pa

So, 13 bar is equal to 13 x 100,000 Pa = 1,300,000 Pa.

Now, you need to know the fugacity coefficient (��γi) for isobutane at the given
conditions (85°C and 1,300,000 Pa). The fugacity coefficient can be obtained from a
suitable equation of state like the Peng-Robinson or Soave-Redlich-Kwong
equations. These equations require specific parameters for isobutane, such as the
critical temperature, critical pressure, acentric factor, and binary interaction
parameters if applicable.

Without knowing these specific parameters, I cannot provide the exact fugacity
coefficient for isobutane at 85°C and 1,300,000 Pa. You would need to consult a
thermodynamic database or software that provides these parameters.

Once you have the fugacity coefficient (��γi) for isobutane at the specified
conditions, and if you know the mole fraction of isobutane (��xi) in the gas
mixture, you can calculate the fugacity (��fi) using the formula above.

Keep in mind that obtaining accurate fugacity values often requires access to
detailed thermodynamic data and equations of state specific to the system you are
working with.
