Mixing and Solution Thermodynamics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Basic Thermochemistry in Materials Processing

Abstract

In nature, we rarely find pure components or elements. We live in a world made of mixtures; therefore, we should shift our attention to mixtures components in solids, liquids, and gases. Because of this, we are more interested in the thermodynamics of mixing.

  2. 2.

    Fugacity can be defined as a measure of the tendency of a gas to escape or expand. It is the activity of a gas. Fugacity is not the same as pressure but it is closely related to it. The need for the fugacity is to have a form for the chemical potential that looks like that of an ideal gas but still obeys the rule that: \( \left( {\tfrac{\partial \mu }{{\partial {P}}}} \right)_{T} = {V} \).
