In an ideal gas mixture, fugacity of a species is equal to its
A
Vapor pressure
B
Partial pressure
C
Chemical potential
D
None of these
Correct Answer: Partial pressure
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.
