Adsorption: Interactive Simulation
This simulation runs on your browser. Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter. A
screencast below explains how to use this simulation.
Langmuir Isotherms for a Binary Mixture
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- For mixture of A and B adsorbing on a surface, if the heat of adsorption for molecule B increased while keeping other parameters the same, what happens to the coverage of A molecules?
- For mixture of A and B adsorbing on a surface, suppose the heat of adsorption of molecule B is greater than the heat of adsorption of molecule A. What happens to the relative coverage of B to A as the temperature increases?
