LHHW rate law form. A LHHW rate law can typically be modeled using an isotherm that consists of 3 fundamental steps:adsorption of the reactants to the catalyst surface (a term proportional to the surface available for adsorption);surface reaction for reactants to form products (a term represented by a simple power law expression); anddesorption of the products from the catalyst surface to the surrounding environment (a term proportional to the surface already adsorbed)..
