Error of the BET Surface Area (m

/g):
Langmuir Surface Area
For each point designated for surface area calculations, the Langmuir
3
transformation is calculated as:
where L is in units of g/cm
3
STP.
A least-squares fit is performed on the (P
rel
, L) designated pairs where P
rel
is the independent variable
and L is the dependent variable. The following are calculated:
a.) Slope (S g/cm
3
STP)
b.) Y-intercept (Y
int
g/cm
3
STP)
c.) Error of the slope (S

g/cm

d.) Error of the y-intercept (YI

e.) Correlation coefficient
Using the results of the above calculations, the following can be calculated :
