In the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, what does the term 'monolayer coverage' refer to?
  1. Complete saturation of the surface
  2. Partial coverage of the surface
  3. Formation of multilayers
  4. No adsorption

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, what does the term 'monolayer coverage' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand what adsorption means. Adsorption is when molecules stick to a surface.
  • Step 2: Know that a surface has a limited number of spots where molecules can stick, called adsorption sites.
  • Step 3: Realize that 'monolayer' means a single layer. So, monolayer coverage means one complete layer of molecules on the surface.
  • Step 4: In monolayer coverage, every available adsorption site on the surface is filled with an adsorbate molecule.
  • Step 5: This means there are no empty spots left for more molecules to stick to the surface.
