Calculate the surface area of the catalyst in units


The secondary bonding of gas molecules to a solid surface is a common mechanism for measuring the surface area of porous materials. By lowering the temperature of a solid well below room temperature, a measured volume of gas will condense to form a monolayer coating of molecules on the porous surface. For a 100-g sample of fused copper catalyst, a volume of 9 x 103 mm3 of nitrogen (measured at standard temperature and pressure, 0°C and 1 atm) is required to form a monolayer upon condensation. Calculate the surface area of the catalyst in units of m2/kg.
