Equation 14.73, shown below, accounts for system pressures that are different from the reference pressure. Which of the following correctly describes the derivation of the equation?





A. Ideal gas behavior is assumed for the system

B. The effect of pressure was quantified using Poynting correction

C. The Peng Robinson equation of state was used to calculate fugacity

D. The effect of pressure was quantified using Raoult’s Law

E. None of these


E. Correct. The derivation used “ideal gas at pressure P0” as a reference state, and required no other assumptions or approximations. However, assumptions and approximations are often applied later, in expressing the fugacity coefficients for the case at hand.
