In an ideal solution, the activity of a component equals its __________________?

Correct answer: A. Mole fraction

  • A. Mole fraction
  • B. Fugacity at the same temperature and pressure
  • C. Partial pressure
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For an ideal solution, Raoult's-law behaviour gives the activity of component i as its mole fraction, ai = xi. Fugacity and partial pressure are related quantities, but they are not generally equal to the activity itself.
