Interpretation:
The validation corresponding to the fact that data of carbon monoxide coverage and pressure follows a Langmuir isotherm is to be stated. The equilibrium constant for the adsorption process is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The isotherm model that describes the adsorption process, if an adsorbate acts as an ideal gas at the isothermal situation is known as Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. In the given isothermal situation, the partial pressure of the adsorbate is related to the volume of the adsorbate which is adsorbed on the solid adsorbent.

- One of the chemical controversies of the nineteenth century concerned the element beryllium (Be). Berzelius originally claimed that beryllium was a trivalent element (forming Be3+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This resulted in a calculated atomic mass of 13.5 for beryllium. In formulating his periodic table, Mendeleev proposed that beryllium was divalent (forming Be2+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This assumption gives an atomic mass of 9.0. In 1894, A. Combes (Comptes Rendus 1894, p. 1221) reacted beryllium with the anion C5H7O2and measured the density of the gaseous product. Combess data for two different experiments are as follows: I II Mass 0.2022 g 0.2224 g Volume 22.6 cm3 26.0 cm3 Temperature 13C 17C Pressure 765.2 mm Hg 764.6 mm If beryllium is a divalent metal, the molecular formula of the product will be Be(C5H7O2)2; if it is trivalent, the formula will be Be(C5H7O2)3.

- Why do high pressures favor the formation of the diamond from graphite?arrow_forwardThe Haber process is very important for agriculture because it converts N2(g) from the atmosphere into bound nitrogen, which can be taken up and used by plants.
