This lecture discusses the differences between physisorption and chemisorption, focusing on the origin of interaction, strength, enthalpy, equilibrium, specificity, and temperature dependence. It also covers gas adsorption isotherms, Langmuir isotherm, and the temperature effect on adsorption. The Langmuir isotherm assumptions and derivation of the equation are explained, along with the models and important issues related to adsorption.
