Do "pseudo Van der Waals" gases exist?
In college, when deriving the Langmuir isotherm for gas-solid adsorption, the professor proposed a modified version of the Van der Waals state equation, what he called the "pseudo Van der Waals ...

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 ...

Finding the Freundlich adsorption isotherm from the graph of log(x/m) v/s log(p)
The following problem was asked in JEE Mains 2020 (Sept 2, Shift 1),
The mass of gas adsorbed, $x$, per unit mass of adsorbate, $m$, was measured at various pressures, $p$. A graph between $\log\frac ...
