7、ds3.1 Solids adsorb nitrogen and,under specific conditions,the adsorbed molecules approach a monomolecular layer.Thequantity of gas in this hypothetical monomolecular layer iscalculated using an approximation of the B.E.T.equation.Combining this with the area occupied by the nitrogen mol-ecule yield

11、the multi-point version of the B.E.T.method isgenerally accepted as being less prone to errors arising fromthe varying surface properties of individual samples,thesingle-point approximation is often adequate due to the shortertime per test and relative simplicity of the instrumentationneeded.Quality
