If the acceptable roughness parameter variability is 20% (i.e., the coefficient of variation COV = 20%) and the sample mean from a pilot study has been found to be 1,000. Assuming a 95% confidence level and acceptable margin of precision in measurement is 200 (Rα = 200), determine the minimum number of roughness measurements to be recorded at each test segment
Determine the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model parameters
for the set of equilibrium adsorption data provided below. You may use linear regression, and
plot Ce/Qad versus Ce for the Langmuir equation (qe = QaabCe)/(1+ bCe) and log qe versus log
Ce for the Freundlich isotherm equation (qe = KF Ce"), or use non-linear fitting feature built in
Excel. In your solution, you need to explain your procedure and circle your parameters. Q ad
is the (monolayer) adsorption capacity for the Langmuir isotherm model.
Adsorption isotherm data: Carbon type, F-400; chemical: tetrachloroethene, temperature:

Note: 1) Use the proper units for the isotherm parameters. 2) When you graph the isotherm
data, do not connect the data points. 3) Provide the curve fitting (dashed line and isotherm
parameters with 3 significant digits. 4) The x-axis and y-axis should be the bottom and the left
sides of your figure. "Please see…
