C. Huang and W.P. Cheng (J. Colloid Interface Sci. 188, 270 (1997)) examined the adsorption of the hexacyanoferrate(III) ion, [Fe(CN)6]3−, on γ-Al2O3 from aqueous solution. They modelled the adsorption with a modified Langmuir isotherm, obtaining the following values of α at pH=6.5:

Determine the isosteric enthalpy of adsorption, ΔadsH⦵, at this pH. The researchers also reported ΔadsS⦵ =+146 Jmol−1K−1 under these conditions. Determine ΔadsG⦵.
