Abstract
The rates of condensation and evaporation of adsorbed particles when they interact with long-range forces are deduced from kinetic considerations, including also the case of adsorption of diatomic molecules with dissociation. The rate of evaporation is compared with experiment, and the variation of the dipole moment with θ required to make the theory agree with experiment is discussed.Finally the formulae for the rates of condensation and evaporation are applied to the problem of the diffusion of gases through metals, and it is found that for the processes considered the effect of interaction does not alter the conclusion arrived at in an earlier paper concerning the diffusion equation at small p and at large p.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
