23.12(a) 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 (a) 0.15, (b) 0.95. 23.12(b) The adsorption of a gas is described by the Langmuir isotherm with K = 0.548 kPa⁻¹ at 25°C. Calculate the pressure at which the fractional surface coverage is (a) 0.20, (b) 0.75.

A certain solid sample adsorbs 0.44 mg of CO when the pressure of the gas is 26.0 kPa and the temperature is 300 K. The mass of gas adsorbed when the pressure is 3.0 kPa and the temperature is 300 K is 0.19 mg. The Langmuir isotherm is known to describe the adsorption. Estimate the fractional coverage of the surface at the two pressures.

The following table gives data on the adsorption of benzene by graphitized carbon black (P-33) at two surface coverages and two temperatures: \[ \begin{array}{ccc} v\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3} \mathrm{g}^{-1} \text {at } 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 1 \mathrm{bar}\right) & 0.2 & 0.4 \\ t / \mathrm{C}^{\circ} & \multicolumn{2}{c} {\text {Pressure}(\mathrm{Pa})} \\ \hline 0 & 13 & 27 \\ 35.0 & 80 & 170 \end{array} \] Calculate the enthalpy of adsorption $\Delta_{\text {ads }} H$ at each coverage.
