Figure 5.7 Fugacity form 1 for deducing Z values.<br />

properties used with assumed media volumes to deduce the distribution of a defined<br />

quantity of the substance between these media.<br />

Worked Example 5.11<br />

A chemical has Z values in air of 4 ¥ 10 –4 mol/m 3 Pa, in water of 10 –3 mol/m 3 Pa,<br />

and in sediment of 5 mol/m 3 Pa. What are the air and sediment concentrations in<br />

equilibrium with a water concentration of 2 mol/m 3 ?<br />

Using subscripts W for water, A for air, and S for sediment,<br />

C W = 2.0 Z W = 10 –3 f = C W/Z W = 2000 Pa<br />

C A = f Z A = 2000 ¥ 4 ¥ 10 –4 = 0.8 mol/m 3<br />

C S = f Z S = 2000 ¥ 5 = 10000 mol/m 3
