Thermodynamic analysis of the Freundlich adsorption isotherm was performed. Equations describing the thermodynamic characteristics of adsorption as a function of the adsorbed quantity are presented, and relationships between the excess differential and average molar thermodynamic adsorption quantities were obtained. It was shown that the thermodynamic approach does not contradict the molecular statistical theory and provides more general equations. A model of adsorption described by the Freundlich isotherm is discussed.
