A Simple Way of Calculating the Change in the Gibbs' Free Energy of Ion Adsorption Reactions

Adsorption experiments of Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ ions from aqueous solutions onto vermiculite were conducted to test the applicability of two basic functions derived for calculating the change in the Gibbs' free energy (ΔG 0 ) and the chemical potential (Δμ) between the initial and equilibrium states...
