For an ideal gas, the activity co-efficient is_________________?

Correct answer: C. Unity at all pressures

  • A. Directly proportional to pressure
  • B. Inversely proportional to pressure
  • C. Unity at all pressures
  • D. None of these

Explanation

An ideal gas has no intermolecular interactions and obeys the ideal-gas reference behaviour, so its activity coefficient is unity. A pressure-dependent activity coefficient would indicate non-ideal behaviour.
