Abstract:  A relation for calculation of the entropy of translational motion of molecules with one degree of freedom as well as a relation for calculating the rotational entropy of СН_з groups is derived. The number of degrees of freedom of the adsorbate molecules is determined by comparing the entropy found from experimental data with the entropy calculated for the molecules of adsorbate with different degrees of freedom. We have found out t h a t the number of translational degrees of freedom of the adsorbate molecules decreases with the quantity adsorbed while the rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom remain in the main unchanged.
