The Langmuir adsorption isotherm is given by the equation: =  KP  /  1 + KP where  is the fractional surface coverage, K is the Langmuir constant  0.25 L/mol in this case , and P is the pressure  1 atm .To find the maximum surface coverage of nitrogen gas on the platinum surface, we can plug in the given values into the equation: =  0.25 L/mol * 1 atm  /  1 + 0.25 L/mol * 1 atm  =  0.25  /  1 + 0.25  = 0.25 / 1.25  0.20The maximum surface coverage of nitrogen gas on the platinum surface at 25C and a pressure of 1 atm, according to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm data with a Langmuir constant of 0.25 L/mole, is approximately 0.20 or 20%.
