4.4 Gibbs Energy Calculations 177


The formula in Eq. (4.4-7) is equivalent to integrating from the standard-state pressure
P◦down to zero pressure with the ideal gas, and then integrating back up to pressureP′
with the real gas. This procedure gives the difference between the real gas at pressure
P′and the ideal gas at pressureP◦.
The integral in Eq. (4.4-9) can be broken into two parts, as follows (we have also
exchanged the limits, which changes the sign):

The left-hand side of Eq. (4.4-7) is equal toRTln(f/P◦), so that iff′denotes the
fugacity at pressureP′, we can combine the two integrals to write

The integrand of this integral is small if the deviation from ideality is small and vanishes
if the gas is ideal.

EXAMPLE4.14

Find an expression for the fugacity of a gas that obeys the truncated pressure virial equation
of state

PVmRT+A 2 P

where the second pressure virial coefficientA 2 is a function of temperature. It was shown in
Example 1.9 that the second pressure virial coefficient,A 2 , is equal toB 2 , the second virial
coefficient.
