At a given temperature T , a surface with No adsorption centers has N ≤ No adsorbed molecules. Suppose that there are no interactions between molecules. Show that the chemical potential of the adsorbed gas is given by
What is the meaning of the function a (T )?
Physics
Suppose an adsorbed particle has energy -x. We then write the canonical partition function
Now we can use the grand-canonical formalism to write
from which we have
and the expression for the chemical potential with a = exp (βε).
