The Freundlich equation models this process until a saturation pressure is reached, after which it fails to be accurate. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this process modelled by the Langmuir (“LANG-myoor”) isotherm. MOFs (“moffs”) with high rates of this process are used in carbon capture mechanisms.
ANSWER: adsorption [accept word forms like adsorb; reject “absorption”]
[10e] The statistical mechanical derivation for the Langmuir model assumes that adsorbates behave as these substances, which are described by the equation “PV equals nRT.”
ANSWER: ideal gases [or perfect gases]
[10h] These structures form when atoms adsorb onto the surface of a single crystal. These structures, which can be classified as “commensurate” or “incommensurate,” are described by Wood’s notation.
ANSWER: overlayers
