Question:

(a) At 298 K, butane follows the equation of state: P(V - b) = RT at moderate pressures, where b is a function of temperature. Calculate the fugacity for butane at a temperature of 298 K and a pressure of 1 MPa. At this temperature, b = -732 cm3/mol.

(b) Pentane follows the same equation of state with b = -1195 cm3/mol at 298 K. In a mixture, b follows the mixing rule: b = x1b1 + 2x1x2b12 + x22 b2 where b12 = -928 cm3/mol. Calculate the fugacity of butane in a 20 mol% concentration in pentane at 298 K and 1 MPa, assuming the mixture is an ideal solution.
