That theory of this process is commonly used to calculate the specific surface area for it and is BET theory.
One theory of this process calculates a potential equal to negative RT times the natural log of equilibrium vapor pressure over saturation vapor pressure. That potential is calculated in the Dubinin-Polanyi theory. Hill's and Lowell's equation contain the namesake C constant of another theory of this process. That theory of this process is commonly used to calculate the specific surface area for it and is BET theory. For monolayers, the partitioning between molecules in a gas phase and molecules that have undergone this process is described by the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. An important quantity for it is surface coverage. Industrially, it typically involves alumina, silica gel or activated carbon because they have a large surface area per unit weight. For 10 points, name this process in which molecules or particles bind to a surface, as opposed to filling pores in a solid, like in absorption.
