Abstract
IN the determination of surface areas from adsorption data the area of the adsorbed molecules Am is usually calculated from the liquid density, assuming hexagonal close packing in the liquid state on the surface, namely: where M is the molecular weight of adsorbate, dl is liquid density in g/cm3, N is Avogadro's number.
