Abstract

Previous work on the heat of adsorption has been carried out by the use of the ice calorimeter adapted only to those liquids of appreciable vapor pressure at 0°C., and affording no investigation of the effect of temperature upon the heat of adsorption. In the present paper there is described a method for studying the heat of adsorption at different temperatures by employing a sensitive thermo-couple in a calorimeter system consisting of a known weight of low specific heat oil in a Dewar flask. With this arrangement we find that a change of 1 microvolt in the thermocouple reading corresponds to 0.06 calories per gram of charcoal.
