and partial pressure are not equal, and (2) there is some conceptual difficulty about<br />

referring to a “partial pressure of DDT in a fish” when there is no vapor present for<br />

a pressure to be present in—even partially.<br />

5.3.2 Solution in Liquid Phases<br />

The fugacity equation (Prausnitz et al., 1986) for solute i in solution is given in<br />

terms of mole fraction x i activity coefficient g i and reference fugacity f R on a Raoult’s<br />

law basis.<br />

f i = x ig if R<br />

Now, x i, the mole fraction of solute, can be converted to concentration C mol/m 3<br />

using molar volumes v (m 3 /mol), amounts n (mol), and volumes V (m 3 ) of solute<br />

(subscript i) and solution (subscript w for water as an example). Assuming that the<br />

solute concentration is small, i.e., V i
