Abstract

A study has been made of the different contributions to the entropy of adsorption in Henry's zone of several hydrocarbons on Aerosil with different degrees of hydrophobicity. The statistical-mechanical interpretation of the experiments on the adsorption of isobutene on hydroxylated Aerosil shows that there is mobile adsorption with loss of one rotational degree of freedom.
