For each point designated for surface area calculations, the Langmuir
3
transformation is calculated as
follows:
where L
I
is in units of g/cm

STP
A least-squares fit is performed on the (P
rel
I
, L
I
) designated pairs where P
rel
I
is the independent vari-
able and L
I
is the dependent variable. The following are calculated:
a.) Slope (S g/cm

STP)
b.) Y-intercept (Y

c.) Error of the slope (S
