The Langmuir equation (also known as the Langmuir isotherm, Langmuir adsorption equation or Hill-Langmuir equation) relates the coverage or adsorption of molecules on a solid surface to gas pressure or concentration of a medium above the solid surface at a fixed temperature.
the result should be an isotherm showing adsorbtion. most likely langmuir isotherm.
The monolayer capacity of the adsorbent is equal to number of moles of adsorption sites present on one gram of sample. The Langmuir and BET isotherms may be used to find th monolayer capacity of the adsorbent. Thus on taking the reciprocal of the monolayer capacity, one can find the molecular weight of the adsorbent.
At a given temperature, the extent of adsorption will increase with the increase of pressure of the gas. The extent of adsorption is measured as x/m, where mi= is the mass of adsorbent and x that of adsorbate. At low pressure, x/m varies linearly with p. As per Freundlich adsorption equation Taking log both sides of the equation, we get, At low pressure, x/m=kP At high pressure, x/m=kPo This is called Freundlich adsorption isotherm at a constant temperature. Freundlich isotherm fails at high pressure and is only for physical adsorption. Langmuir isotherm is represented as x/m=ap/(1+bp) (a and b are constants) At very high pressure,(bp>>1) x/m=a/b At very low pressure,(bp<<1) x/m=ap
