A chemistry student wants to determine the surface area of a metal oxide sample using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The student collects adsorption data at different pressures and determines the amount of gas adsorbed on the surface. The Langmuir isotherm equation used is y = Kx / (1 + Kx), where y is the fractional surface coverage, x is the pressure of the gas, and K is a constant related to the adsorption energy. The student obtains the following data:Pressure (atm) | Fractional surface coverage-------------|---------------------------
