Introduction to Adsorption:

Comments:Good explaination. Nomenclature used to derive the Langmuir Isotherm is a little different in that the fraction of vacant sites θV,and fractional coverage of species B θB are used instead of the concentration of vacant sites Cv and the concentration of adsorbed species B Cb. The fraction of vacant sites is just the concentration of vacant sites divided by the total number of sites &theat;V =Cv/Ct and the fractional coverage of B is just Cb/Ct. This concept of fractional coverage is similar to what is used later in the chapter when discussing CVD.

Comments: Nomenclature is similar to that used in Adsorption Video discussed above in that it uses fractional coverage.
