Gibbs free energy of a pure fluid approaches _____________ as the pressure tends to zero at constant temperature?

Correct answer: B. Minus infinity

  • A. Infinity
  • B. Minus infinity
  • C. Zero
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For a pure fluid at constant temperature, the chemical potential or molar Gibbs energy contains the term RT ln f. As pressure and fugacity approach zero, ln f approaches minus infinity, so the Gibbs free energy does also.
