The activity of pure hydrogen gas at 1000°C and 5 atm pressure_________________?

Correct answer: C. Depends on the choice of the standard state

  • A. Is always less than 1
  • B. Is always greater than 1
  • C. Depends on the choice of the standard state
  • D. Can be 5

Explanation

Gas activity is defined relative to a chosen standard-state fugacity, commonly as a/f° or f/f°. Therefore, even for pure hydrogen at a specified pressure and temperature, its numerical activity depends on the selected standard state.
