The pressures of nitrogen required for adsorption of $1.0 \mathrm{cm}^{3} \mathrm{g}^{-1}\left(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 1.013 \mathrm{bar}\right)$ of gas on graphitized carbon black are 24 Pa at $77.5 \mathrm{K}$ and 290 Pa at $90.1 \mathrm{K}$. Calculate the enthalpy of adsorption at this fraction of surface coverage.

Key Concepts

Adsorption Isotherms

Adsorption isotherms are graphs or models that describe the relationship between the amount of gas adsorbed on a surface and the pressure of the gas at a constant temperature. These isotherms are fundamental in characterizing adsorption behavior and in determining various adsorption parameters such as capacity and enthalpy.

Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is a thermodynamic relation that relates changes in pressure and temperature to heat transfer during phase changes. In the context of adsorption, it can be used to determine the isosteric heat of adsorption by analyzing how equilibrium pressures vary with temperature at a constant amount of adsorbed material.

Surface Coverage

Surface coverage refers to the fraction of the adsorbent surface that is occupied by adsorbate molecules. It is a crucial parameter in adsorption studies because it influences both the kinetics and thermodynamics of the adsorption process, including the calculation of adsorption energy.

Adsorption

Adsorption is the process in which atoms, ions, or molecules from a substance adhere to a surface of an adsorbent. This process is driven by various forces, including physical (van der Waals) interactions or chemical bonding, and plays a critical role in surface science and many industrial applications.

Isosteric Heat of Adsorption

The isosteric heat of adsorption is the enthalpy change associated with the adsorption process at constant surface coverage. It reflects the strength of interaction between the adsorbate molecules and the adsorbent surface and is used to evaluate the energy involved in the adsorption phenomenon.
