Enthalpy of adsorption and adsorption rate

What I want to know is about the adsorption enthalpy change by the change of surface coverage and the adsorption rate. In general situations, adsorption would be exothermic. So in the Gibbs free ...

Understanding isosteric enthalpy (heat) of adsorption

I am trying to understand what is isosteric heat of adsorption. Based on van't Hoff equation: $$ \left(\frac{\partial \ln K}{\partial T}\right)_θ = \frac{ΔH^\circ}{RT^2} $$ and $ΔH^\circ$ is defined ...

Why increase in enthalpy leads to increase in entropy? [closed]

Given statement: Enthalpy of adsorption is the strength at which molecule (say $\ce{H2}$) is bound to the adsorbent (say some metal center). For a free $\ce{H2}$ molecule, the entropy contribution is ...
