Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The Langmuir isotherm assumes that adsorption occurs at specific sites on the adsorbent. What is the maximum number of molecules that can be adsorbed at a given temperature called?
  • Step 1: Understand that adsorption is the process where molecules stick to a surface.
  • Step 2: Know that the Langmuir isotherm is a model that describes how molecules adsorb onto a surface.
  • Step 3: Recognize that there are specific sites on the adsorbent where molecules can attach.
  • Step 4: Realize that there is a limit to how many molecules can attach to the surface at a certain temperature.
  • Step 5: The maximum number of molecules that can be adsorbed at this limit is called the saturation capacity.
