4) A surface with No adsorption centers has N (S No) gas molecules adsorbed on it. Show that the
chemical potential of the adsorbed molecules is given by u = kTln-
(No-N)a(r)
where a(T) is the
partition function of a single adsorbed molecule. Solve the problem by constructing the grand
partition function as well as the partition function of the system. [Neglect the intermolecular
interaction among the adsorbed molecules.)
