Definition of fugacity in English:
fugacity
noun fjʊˈɡasɪtifjuˈɡæsədi
mass noun1literary The quality of being fleeting or evanescent.
2Chemistry
A thermodynamic property of a real gas which if substituted for the pressure or partial pressure in the equations for an ideal gas gives equations applicable to the real gas.
Example sentencesExamples

- Distribution of the asbestos typically shows a strong lithostratigraphic control, with bulk rock composition, oxygen fugacity, temperature, and structure all exerting an influence on fibre growth.
- The fugacity of sulphur dioxide becomes high enough for the gas to start escaping.
- This method is also appropriate for introducing the activity of solution components and the fugacity of a real gas in gaseous mixtures.
- You can always check by calculating the fugacity for yourself, using the equations in Pitzer and Sterner.
