In an ideal gas mixture, fugacity of a species is equal to its___________________?

Correct answer: B. Partial pressure

  • A. Vapor pressure
  • B. Partial pressure
  • C. Chemical potential
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For an ideal-gas mixture, the fugacity of component i equals its partial pressure, fᵢ = yᵢP. Vapor pressure applies to a pure condensable phase, while chemical potential is related to fugacity but is not equal to it.
