Fugacity

Last updated May 19, 2024

In chemical thermodynamics, the fugacity of a real gas is an effective partial pressure which replaces the mechanical partial pressure in an accurate computation of chemical equilibrium. It is equal to the pressure of an ideal gas which has the same temperature and molar Gibbs free energy as the real gas.^[1]

Accurate calculations of chemical equilibrium for real gases should use the fugacity rather than the pressure. The thermodynamic condition for chemical equilibrium is that the total chemical potential of reactants is equal to that of products. If the chemical potential of each gas is expressed as a function of fugacity, the equilibrium condition may be transformed into the familiar reaction quotient form (or law of mass action) except that the pressures are replaced by fugacities.

For a condensed phase (liquid or solid) in equilibrium with its vapor phase, the chemical potential is equal to that of the vapor, and therefore the fugacity is equal to the fugacity of the vapor. This fugacity is approximately equal to the vapor pressure when the vapor pressure is not too high.

Pure substance

Fugacity is closely related to the chemical potential $μ$ . In a pure substance, $μ$ is equal to the Gibbs energy $G m$ for a mole of the substance,^[2]^: 207 and

d\mu =dG_{\mathrm {m} }=-S_{\mathrm {m} }dT+V_{\mathrm {m} }dP,

where $T$ and $P$ are the temperature and pressure, $V m$ is the volume per mole and $S m$ is the entropy per mole.^[2]^: 248

Gas

For an ideal gas the equation of state can be written as

V_{\mathrm {m} }^{\text{ideal}}={\frac {RT}{P}},

where $R$ is the ideal gas constant. The differential change of the chemical potential between two states of slightly different pressures but equal temperature (i.e., $d T = 0$ ) is given by

d\mu =V_{\mathrm {m} }dP=RT\,{\frac {dP}{P}}=RT\,d\ln P,

where ln p is the natural logarithm of p.

For real gases the equation of state will depart from the simpler one, and the result above derived for an ideal gas will only be a good approximation provided that (a) the typical size of the molecule is negligible compared to the average distance between the individual molecules, and (b) the short range behavior of the inter-molecular potential can be neglected, i.e., when the molecules can be considered to rebound elastically off each other during molecular collisions. In other words, real gases behave like ideal gases at low pressures and high temperatures.^[3] At moderately high pressures, attractive interactions between molecules reduce the pressure compared to the ideal gas law; and at very high pressures, the sizes of the molecules are no longer negligible and repulsive forces between molecules increases the pressure. At low temperatures, molecules are more likely to stick together instead of rebounding elastically.^[4]

The ideal gas law can still be used to describe the behavior of a real gas if the pressure is replaced by a fugacity $f$ , defined so that

d\mu =RT\,d\ln f

and

\lim _{P\to 0}{\frac {f}{P}}=1.

That is, at low pressures $f$ is the same as the pressure, so it has the same units as pressure. The ratio

\varphi ={\frac {f}{P}}

is called the fugacity coefficient.^[2]^{: 248–249}

If a reference state is denoted by a zero superscript, then integrating the equation for the chemical potential gives

\mu -\mu ^{0}=RT\,\ln {\frac {f}{P^{0}}},

Note this can also be expressed with $a=f/P^{0}$ , a dimensionless quantity, called the activity .^[5]^: 37

Numerical example: Nitrogen gas (N₂) at 0 °C and a pressure of $P = 100$ atmospheres (atm) has a fugacity of $f = 97.03$ atm.^[1] This means that the molar Gibbs energy of real nitrogen at a pressure of 100 atm is equal to the molar Gibbs energy of nitrogen as an ideal gas at 97.03 atm. The fugacity coefficient is 97.03 atm/100 atm = 0.9703.

The contribution of nonideality to the molar Gibbs energy of a real gas is equal to $RT ln φ$ . For nitrogen at 100 atm, $G m = G m,id + RT ln 0.9703$ , which is less than the ideal value $G m,id$ because of intermolecular attractive forces. Finally, the activity is just $97.03$ without units.

Condensed phase

The fugacity of a condensed phase (liquid or solid) is defined the same way as for a gas:

d\mu _{\mathrm {c} }=RT\,d\ln f_{\mathrm {c} }

and

\lim _{P\to 0}{\frac {f_{\mathrm {c} }}{P}}=1.

It is difficult to measure fugacity in a condensed phase directly; but if the condensed phase is saturated (in equilibrium with the vapor phase), the chemical potentials of the two phases are equal ( $μ c = μ g$ ). Combined with the above definition, this implies that

f_{\mathrm {c} }=f_{\mathrm {g} }.

When calculating the fugacity of the compressed phase, one can generally assume the volume is constant. At constant temperature, the change in fugacity as the pressure goes from the saturation press $P sat$ to $P$ is

\ln {\frac {f}{f_{\mathrm {sat} }}}={\frac {V_{\mathrm {m} }}{RT}}\int _{P_{\mathrm {sat} }}^{P}dp={\frac {V\left(P-P_{\mathrm {sat} }\right)}{RT}}.

This fraction is known as the Poynting factor. Using $f sat = φ sat p sat$ , where $φ sat$ is the fugacity coefficient,

f=\varphi _{\mathrm {sat} }P_{\mathrm {sat} }\exp \left({\frac {V\left(P-P_{\mathrm {sat} }\right)}{RT}}\right).

This equation allows the fugacity to be calculated using tabulated values for saturated vapor pressure. Often the pressure is low enough for the vapor phase to be considered an ideal gas, so the fugacity coefficient is approximately equal to 1.^[6]^{: 345–346}^[7]

Unless pressures are very high, the Poynting factor is usually small and the exponential term is near 1. Frequently, the fugacity of the pure liquid is used as a reference state when defining and using mixture activity coefficients.

Mixture

The fugacity is most useful in mixtures. It does not add any new information compared to the chemical potential, but it has computational advantages. As the molar fraction of a component goes to zero, the chemical potential diverges but the fugacity goes to zero. In addition, there are natural reference states for fugacity (for example, an ideal gas makes a natural reference state for gas mixtures since the fugacity and pressure converge at low pressure).^[8]^: 141

Gases

In a mixture of gases, the fugacity of each component $i$ has a similar definition, with partial molar quantities instead of molar quantities (e.g., $G i$ instead of $G m$ and $V i$ instead of $V m$ ):^[2]^: 262

dG_{i}=RT\,d\ln f_{i}

and

\lim _{P\to 0}{\frac {f_{i}}{P_{i}}}=1,

where $P i$ is the partial pressure of component $i$ . The partial pressures obey Dalton's law:

P_{i}=y_{i}P,

where $P$ is the total pressure and $y i$ is the mole fraction of the component (so the partial pressures add up to the total pressure). The fugacities commonly obey a similar law called the Lewis and Randall rule:

f_{i}=y_{i}f_{i}^{*},

where $f * i$ is the fugacity that component $i$ would have if the entire gas had that composition at the same temperature and pressure. Both laws are expressions of an assumption that the gases behave independently.^[2]^{: 264–265}

Liquids

In a liquid mixture, the fugacity of each component is equal to that of a vapor component in equilibrium with the liquid. In an ideal solution, the fugacities obey the Lewis-Randall rule:

f_{i}=x_{i}f_{i}^{*},

where $x i$ is the mole fraction in the liquid and $f * i$ is the fugacity of the pure liquid phase. This is a good approximation when the component molecules have similar size, shape and polarity.^[2]^{: 264, 269–270}

In a dilute solution with two components, the component with the larger molar fraction (the solvent) may still obey Raoult's law even if the other component (the solute) has different properties. That is because its molecules experience essentially the same environment that they do in the absence of the solute. By contrast, each solute molecule is surrounded by solvent molecules, so it obeys a different law known as Henry's law.^[9]^: 171 By Henry's law, the fugacity of the solute is proportional to its concentration. The constant of proportionality (a measured Henry's constant) depends on whether the concentration is represented by the mole fraction, molality or molarity.^[2]^: 274

Temperature and pressure dependence

The pressure dependence of fugacity (at constant temperature) is given by^[2]^: 260

\left({\frac {\partial \ln f}{\partial P}}\right)_{T}={\frac {V_{\mathrm {m} }}{RT}}

and is always positive.^[2]^: 260

The temperature dependence at constant pressure is

\left({\frac {\partial \ln f}{\partial T}}\right)_{P}={\frac {\Delta H_{\mathrm {m} }}{RT^{2}}},

where $Δ H m$ is the change in molar enthalpy as the gas expands, liquid vaporizes, or solid sublimates into a vacuum.^[2]^: 262 Also, if the pressure is $P 0$ , then

\left({\frac {\partial \left(T\ln {\frac {f}{P^{0}}}\right)}{\partial T}}\right)_{P}=-{\frac {S_{\mathrm {m} }}{R}}<0.

Since the temperature and entropy are positive, $ln f / P 0$ decreases with increasing temperature.^[10]

Measurement

The fugacity can be deduced from measurements of volume as a function of pressure at constant temperature. In that case,

\ln \varphi ={\frac {1}{RT}}\int _{0}^{p}\left(V_{m}-V_{\mathrm {m} }^{\mathrm {ideal} }\right)dP.

This integral can also be calculated using an equation of state.^[2]^{: 251–252}

The integral can be recast in an alternative form using the compressibility factor

Z={\frac {PV_{\mathrm {m} }}{RT}}.

Then

\ln \varphi =\int _{0}^{P}\left({\frac {Z-1}{P}}\right)dP.

This is useful because of the theorem of corresponding states: If the pressure and temperature at the critical point of the gas are $P c$ and $T c$ , we can define reduced properties $P r = P / P c$ and $T r = T / T c$ . Then, to a good approximation, most gases have the same value of $Z$ for the same reduced temperature and pressure. However, in geochemical applications, this principle ceases to be accurate at pressures where metamorphism occurs.^[11]^: 247

For a gas obeying the van der Waals equation, the explicit formula for the fugacity coefficient is

RT\ln \varphi ={\frac {RTb}{V_{\mathrm {m} }-b}}-{\frac {2a}{V_{\mathrm {m} }}}-RT\ln \left(1-{\frac {a(V_{\mathrm {m} }-b)}{RTV_{\mathrm {m} }^{2}}}\right)

This formula is based on the molar volume. Since the pressure and the molar volume are related through the equation of state; a typical procedure would be to choose a volume, calculate the corresponding pressure, and then evaluate the right-hand side of the equation.^[12]

History

The word fugacity is derived from the Latin fugere, to flee. In the sense of an "escaping tendency", it was introduced to thermodynamics in 1901 by the American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis and popularized in an influential textbook by Lewis and Merle Randall, Thermodynamics and the Free Energy of Chemical Substances, in 1923.^[13] The "escaping tendency" referred to the flow of matter between phases and played a similar role to that of temperature in heat flow.^[14]^[15]^: 177

In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both the reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time, so that there is no observable change in the properties of the system. This state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction. The reaction rates of the forward and backward reactions are generally not zero, but they are equal. Thus, there are no net changes in the concentrations of the reactants and products. Such a state is known as dynamic equilibrium.

Raoult's law ( law) is a relation of physical chemistry, with implications in thermodynamics. Proposed by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887, it states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture. In consequence, the relative lowering of vapor pressure of a dilute solution of nonvolatile solute is equal to the mole fraction of solute in the solution.

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of many randomly moving point particles that are not subject to interparticle interactions. The ideal gas concept is useful because it obeys the ideal gas law, a simplified equation of state, and is amenable to analysis under statistical mechanics. The requirement of zero interaction can often be relaxed if, for example, the interaction is perfectly elastic or regarded as point-like collisions.

In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation is a chemical thermodynamical relationship that permits the calculation of the reduction potential of a reaction from the standard electrode potential, absolute temperature, the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, and activities of the chemical species undergoing reduction and oxidation respectively. It was named after Walther Nernst, a German physical chemist who formulated the equation.

In chemical thermodynamics, activity is a measure of the "effective concentration" of a species in a mixture, in the sense that the species' chemical potential depends on the activity of a real solution in the same way that it would depend on concentration for an ideal solution. The term "activity" in this sense was coined by the American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis in 1907.

The van der Waals equation, named for its originator, the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, is an equation of state that extends the ideal gas law to include the non-zero size of gas molecules and the interactions between them. As a result the equation is able to model the phase change, liquid $vapor. It also produces simple analytic expressions for the properties of real substances that shed light on their behavior. One way to write this equation is:$

In thermodynamics, the chemical potential of a species is the energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, e.g. in a chemical reaction or phase transition. The chemical potential of a species in a mixture is defined as the rate of change of free energy of a thermodynamic system with respect to the change in the number of atoms or molecules of the species that are added to the system. Thus, it is the partial derivative of the free energy with respect to the amount of the species, all other species' concentrations in the mixture remaining constant. When both temperature and pressure are held constant, and the number of particles is expressed in moles, the chemical potential is the partial molar Gibbs free energy. At chemical equilibrium or in phase equilibrium, the total sum of the product of chemical potentials and stoichiometric coefficients is zero, as the free energy is at a minimum. In a system in diffusion equilibrium, the chemical potential of any chemical species is uniformly the same everywhere throughout the system.

In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum amount of work, other than pressure-volume work, that may be performed by a thermodynamically closed system at constant temperature and pressure. It also provides a necessary condition for processes such as chemical reactions that may occur under these conditions. The Gibbs free energy is expressed as

In physical chemistry, Henry's law is a gas law that states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid. The proportionality factor is called Henry's law constant. It was formulated by the English chemist William Henry, who studied the topic in the early 19th century. In simple words, we can say that the partial pressure of a gas in vapour phase is directly proportional to the mole fraction of a gas in solution.

In chemistry, colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend on the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent particles in a solution, and not on the nature of the chemical species present. The number ratio can be related to the various units for concentration of a solution such as molarity, molality, normality (chemistry), etc. The assumption that solution properties are independent of nature of solute particles is exact only for ideal solutions, which are solutions that exhibit thermodynamic properties analogous to those of an ideal gas, and is approximate for dilute real solutions. In other words, colligative properties are a set of solution properties that can be reasonably approximated by the assumption that the solution is ideal.

In electrochemistry, the standard hydrogen electrode, is a redox electrode which forms the basis of the thermodynamic scale of oxidation-reduction potentials. Its absolute electrode potential is estimated to be 4.44 ± 0.02 V at 25 °C, but to form a basis for comparison with all other electrochemical reactions, hydrogen's standard electrode potential is declared to be zero volts at any temperature. Potentials of all other electrodes are compared with that of the standard hydrogen electrode at the same temperature.

In chemistry, an ideal solution or ideal mixture is a solution that exhibits thermodynamic properties analogous to those of a mixture of ideal gases. The enthalpy of mixing is zero as is the volume change on mixing by definition; the closer to zero the enthalpy of mixing is, the more "ideal" the behavior of the solution becomes. The vapor pressures of the solvent and solute obey Raoult's law and Henry's law, respectively, and the activity coefficient is equal to one for each component.

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the value of its reaction quotient at chemical equilibrium, a state approached by a dynamic chemical system after sufficient time has elapsed at which its composition has no measurable tendency towards further change. For a given set of reaction conditions, the equilibrium constant is independent of the initial analytical concentrations of the reactant and product species in the mixture. Thus, given the initial composition of a system, known equilibrium constant values can be used to determine the composition of the system at equilibrium. However, reaction parameters like temperature, solvent, and ionic strength may all influence the value of the equilibrium constant.

In thermodynamics, an activity coefficient is a factor used to account for deviation of a mixture of chemical substances from ideal behaviour. In an ideal mixture, the microscopic interactions between each pair of chemical species are the same and, as a result, properties of the mixtures can be expressed directly in terms of simple concentrations or partial pressures of the substances present e.g. Raoult's law. Deviations from ideality are accommodated by modifying the concentration by an activity coefficient. Analogously, expressions involving gases can be adjusted for non-ideality by scaling partial pressures by a fugacity coefficient.

The Clausius–Clapeyron relation, in chemical thermodynamics, specifies the temperature dependence of pressure, most importantly vapor pressure, at a discontinuous phase transition between two phases of matter of a single constituent. It is named after Rudolf Clausius and Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron. However, this relation was in fact originally derived by Sadi Carnot in his Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, which was published in 1824 but largely ignored until it was rediscovered by Clausius, Clapeyron, and Lord Kelvin decades later. Kelvin said of Carnot's argument that "nothing in the whole range of Natural Philosophy is more remarkable than the establishment of general laws by such a process of reasoning."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Joule expansion</span>

The Joule expansion is an irreversible process in thermodynamics in which a volume of gas is kept in one side of a thermally isolated container, with the other side of the container being evacuated. The partition between the two parts of the container is then opened, and the gas fills the whole container.

In thermodynamics, the compressibility factor (Z), also known as the compression factor or the gas deviation factor, describes the deviation of a real gas from ideal gas behaviour. It is simply defined as the ratio of the molar volume of a gas to the molar volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure. It is a useful thermodynamic property for modifying the ideal gas law to account for the real gas behaviour. In general, deviation from ideal behaviour becomes more significant the closer a gas is to a phase change, the lower the temperature or the larger the pressure. Compressibility factor values are usually obtained by calculation from equations of state (EOS), such as the virial equation which take compound-specific empirical constants as input. For a gas that is a mixture of two or more pure gases, the gas composition must be known before compressibility can be calculated.
Alternatively, the compressibility factor for specific gases can be read from generalized compressibility charts that plot $as a function of pressure at constant temperature.$

In thermodynamics and chemical engineering, the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) describes the distribution of a chemical species between the vapor phase and a liquid phase.

In thermodynamics a residual property is defined as the difference between a real fluid property and an ideal gas property, both considered at the same density, temperature, and composition, typically expressed as

Equilibrium chemistry is concerned with systems in chemical equilibrium. The unifying principle is that the free energy of a system at equilibrium is the minimum possible, so that the slope of the free energy with respect to the reaction coordinate is zero. This principle, applied to mixtures at equilibrium provides a definition of an equilibrium constant. Applications include acid–base, host–guest, metal–complex, solubility, partition, chromatography and redox equilibria.
