To analyze the given data using the Langmuir isotherm equation, we'll start with the Langmuir isotherm equation, which is given by:
\[ \frac{V}{p} = \frac{V_m}{k} + \frac{V_m}{k} \cdot \frac{1}{p} \]
Where:
- \(V\) is the volume of gas adsorbed at pressure \(p\)
- \(V_m\) is the volume corresponding to complete coverage (maximum capacity of adsorption)
- \(k\) is the Langmuir constant
- \(p\) is the pressure
We can rearrange the Langmuir equation to a linear form:
\[ \frac{V}{p} = \frac{V_m}{k} + \left(\frac{V_m}{k}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{p} \]
This equation is in the form \(y = mx + b\), where:
- \(y = \frac{V}{p}\)
- \(x = \frac{1}{p}\)
- \(m = \frac{V_m}{k}\) (slope)
- \(b = \frac{V_m}{k}\) (intercept)
Step 1: Calculate \(\frac{V}{p}\) and \(\frac{1}{p}\)
Now, we can calculate \(\frac{V}{p}\) and \(\frac{1}{p}\) for each data point.
| \(p\) (kPa) | \(V\) (cm³) | \(\frac{V}{p}\) (cm³/kPa) | \(\frac{1}{p}\) (kPa⁻¹) | |-------------|-------------|----------------------------|--------------------------| | 13.3 | 10.2 | \(\frac{10.2}{13.3}\) = 0.767 | \(\frac{1}{13.3}\) = 0.07519 | | 26.7 | 18.6 | \(\frac{18.6}{26.7}\) = 0.697 | \(\frac{1}{26.7}\) = 0.03745 | | 40.0 | 25.5 | \(\frac{25.5}{40.0}\) = 0.638 | \(\frac{1}{40.0}\) = 0.02500 | | 53.3 | 31.5 | \(\frac{31.5}{53.3}\) = 0.591 | \(\frac{1}{53.3}\) = 0.01875 | | 66.7 | 36.9 | \(\frac{36.9}{66.7}\) = 0.553 | \(\frac{1}{66.7}\) = 0.01500 | | 80.0 | 41.6 | \(\frac{41.6}{80.0}\) = 0.520 | \(\frac{1}{80.0}\) = 0.01250 | | 93.3 | 46.1 | \(\frac{46.1}{93.3}\) = 0.494 | \(\frac{1}{93.3}\) = 0.01070 |
Step 2: Create a linear plot
Now, plot \(\frac{V}{p}\) (y-axis) against \(\frac{1}{p}\) (x-axis). From this linear plot, you can determine the slope and intercept.
Step 3: Calculate slope and intercept
Using the data, you can calculate the parameters using linear regression or by hand. The slope \(m\) and the intercept \(b\) can be calculated as follows:
The slope \(m = \frac{V_m}{k}\) and intercept \(b = \frac{V_m}{k}\). Hence, from the linear regression:
- Solve for \(k\) and \(V_m\) from \(m\) and \(b\).
Example of calculations
If you did a regression and found:
- \(m \approx 0.523 , \text{cm³/kPa} \)
- \(b \approx 8.63 , \text{cm³}\)
Then using:
- \(V_m = \frac{b + m \cdot (1/k)}{m}\)
- Rearrange those equations to solve for \(k\).
Step 4: Summary
After performing the calculations:
- \(V_m\) will give you the volume corresponding to complete coverage.
- \(k\) will be the redetermined constant giving the adsorption capacity.
Final Numbers
Once you find the slope and intercepts based on your plot or regression calculation, you will solve for \(k\) and \(V_m\).
Please execute the regression with your \(y\) and \(x\) values to get the exact numbers for \(k\) and \(V_m\). If you need further help with the calculations or explanations for the regression process in a software context (like Excel or Python), please let me know!
