Abstract
The energy quantities for chemisorbing systems derived from calorimetry, isotherms, rate studies, and steady state measurements are analyzed. It is shown that if equilibration of the adsorbed layer occurs rapidly before evaporation (as it does for most metals) and the kinetic processes are properly identified, then the energy parameters deduced from thermodynamic and kinetic measurements are comparable.
