If the entropy of a system decreases, the entropy
of its surroundings
must always increase

The fugacity of a real gas is equal to:
The pressure of an ideal gas which has the same chemical potential as the real gas.
An adiabatic process is one in which the system under investigation is thermally isolated so that there is no exchange of heat with the surroundings. Thus, the work done on a closed system in an adiabatic process is _______
