Activity From Fugacity
Compute the thermodynamic activity as the ratio of fugacity to the standard pressure of one bar.
Description
Compute the thermodynamic activity as the ratio of fugacity to the standard pressure of one bar.
Activity From Fugacity is a focused chemistry tool that compute the thermodynamic activity as the ratio of fugacity to the standard pressure of one bar. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1
When to use Activity From Fugacity
Use Activity From Fugacity when you need to compute the thermodynamic activity as the ratio of fugacity to the standard pressure of one bar. Enter Fugacity and Standard pressure using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.
- Fugacity
- A finite measured or assumed value, expressed in bar.
- Standard pressure
- A finite measured or assumed value, expressed in bar.
How Activity From Fugacity calculates the result
The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute the thermodynamic activity as the ratio of fugacity to the standard pressure of one bar.
- Thermodynamic activity
- The calculated thermodynamic activity.
Limitations of Activity From Fugacity
A ratio or percentage can conceal the scale of its numerator and denominator and becomes sensitive to measurement error when the denominator is small.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original Fugacity and Standard pressure values and their units alongside the result. Activity Calculator is useful when you instead need to compute thermodynamic activity a = gamma * concentration. Fugacity From Z provides another view by helping you estimate gas fugacity from a pressure-virial compressibility factor using ln(phi) ≈ Z-1 and f = phi·P; this second-virial approximation is for low pressure.
