<strong>Fugacity</strong> coefficient ( ) : <strong>Fugacity</strong> coefficient ids defined <strong>as</strong> the ratio of fugacity of a<br />

component to its pressure.<br />

Standard State: Pure g<strong>as</strong>es, solids and liquids at temperature of 298k at 1 atmosphere are<br />

said to ex<strong>is</strong>t at standard condition. The property at th<strong>is</strong> condition are known <strong>as</strong> standard<br />

state property and <strong>is</strong> denoted by subscript’o’.<br />
