fugacity
In thermodynamics, the fugacity of a real gas is an effective partial pressure which replaces the ideal partial pressure in an accurate computation of chemical equilibrium. It is equal to the pressure of an ideal gas which has the same temperature and molar Gibbs free energy (chemical potential) as the real gas.
spontaneous process
time-evolution of a system in which it releases free energy and moves to a lower, more thermodynamically stable energy state

thermodynamic process that absorbs energy from its surroundings
