CHEM 341 Spring 2023 Homework 3Chapter 3
Name: ID:
Answer the following questions showing your detailed answers; formulas, calculations and units.
1. The adsorption of a gas is described by the Langmuir isotherm with K = 0.75 kPa−1 at 25 °C. Calculate the
pressure at which the fractional surface coverage is (i) 0.15, (ii) 0.95.
2. The volume of gas at 20 °C and 1.00 bar adsorbed on the surface of 1.50 g of a sample of silica at 0 °C was
1.52 cm3 at 56.4 kPa and 2.77 cm 3 at 108 kPa. Assume that the Langmuir isotherm applies and estimate the
value of Vm.
