noun
(Chemical Engineering: General)
Fugacity is a measure of the ability of a component to react in a solution of gases.
At equilibrium the fugacity of a component in the vapor phase is equal to that of the component in the liquid.
The long-term stability of the catalyst depends on the fugacity of the oxygen in the gas phase.
