Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Langmuir adsorption isotherm?
AAdsorption is limited to a single layer of molecules
BAdsorbed molecules attract each other strongly and build up further layers
CAll adsorption sites on the surface are equivalent
DThere is no interaction between adjacent adsorbed molecules
Answer: B
Langmuir assumed a monolayer, identical sites and no lateral interaction between adsorbed molecules. Strong attraction leading to multilayers contradicts these assumptions.
