think fugacity as a pseudo pressure.

isothermal change for a perfect gas: dg = v dp = RT (dp/p)

the Gibbs free energy of a real gas is therefore: dg = v dp = RT (df/f) where f is fugacity

notice that p is replaced with f in the real gas function.

fugacity is a measure of deviation of real gas from the ideal gas model.

Basically, its how much the data needs to be "fudged" in order replicate theory.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Fugacity has the dimension of a pressure.

the ratio of the fugacity  to the pressure is the fugacity coefficient.

It gives a measure of "how much" a gas deviates from an ideal gas.

For an ideal gas, fugacity and pressure are identical
