Does Adsorption Depend On Shape Of The Adsorbent?
I was reading about the Freundlich adsorption isotherm and when I read the equation I was quite confused. It states that
$$x/m=k(p)^{1/n}$$
So basically x is mass of the adsorbate adsorbed, m is mass ...

Doubt regarding isothermal reversible process- Thermodynamics
Since its a reversible process, I can say
$P_{ext}=P_{int}\pm dP$ so now
$W_{int}=\int_{V_1}^{V_2} P_{int}dV$
My question is why can't I assume $P_{ext}=P_{int}$ here and take it as a constant ...

Why is the work done on the system not equal in frame of gas and surroundings?
Consider an isothermal irreversible process for an ideal gas in a cylindrical container closed with a piston (system). Initial and final states are $(P_1,V_1,T)$ and $(P_2,V_2,T)$ respectively. ...
