What is the surface area of a specific adsorbent material if it has an adsorption capacity of 5.6 mmol/g and a monolayer capacity of 4.2 mmol/g, according to the BET theory of multilayer adsorption?

The BET  Brunauer-Emmett-Teller  theory of multilayer adsorption is used to determine the surface area of adsorbent materials. The BET equation is:n =  n_m * C * P  / [ 1 - P  *  C - 1 + P ]where n is the adsorption capacity, n_m is the monolayer capacity, C is the BET constant, and P is the relative pressure  P/P0 .In this case, we are given the adsorption capacity  5.6 mmol/g  and the monolayer capacity  4.2 mmol/g . However, we do not have enough information to solve for the surface area directly, as we need the BET constant  C  and the relative pressure  P  to do so.If you can provide the BET constant and the relative pressure, we can then calculate the surface area of the adsorbent material.
