A chemistry student is studying the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and wants to determine the monolayer coverage of a gas adsorbed on a solid surface. The student measures the amount of gas adsorbed at various pressures and at a constant temperature of 298 K. Using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation, what is the monolayer coverage of the gas on the surface at this temperature?

To determine the monolayer coverage of the gas on the surface at 298 K, we need to use the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation: =  P * K *  1 -    /  1 + P * K where: = fractional coverage of the surface  monolayer coverage P = pressure of the gasK = Langmuir adsorption constant, which is a function of temperatureHowever, the problem does not provide the necessary data  pressure values and the Langmuir adsorption constant  to calculate the monolayer coverage. The student would need to plot the data and analyze the graph to determine the monolayer coverage or provide the necessary data for the calculation.
