Abstract In the adsorption literature, the Van't Hoff equation is used in different manners without any criteria about the concepts of physical-chemistry of equilibrium for calculation of thermodynamic parameters of adsorption. Indeed, the equilibrium constant (K) should be dimensionless for being used in the Van't Hoff equation. However, this is not a simple adjustment of units, as being spread in the literature, to become K dimensionless. In this paper, it will be calculated the equilibrium constants using numeric examples and show the flaws of the thermodynamics calculations, when the value of K is wrongly calculated, and what are the expected results of the changes in enthalpy (ΔH°) and changes in the entropy (ΔS°) that are spread in the literature.
