Experimental evidence is presented to show that the two types of activated adsorption of H₂ that occur on Fe-synthetic-NH₃ catalysts are, in part at least, adsorptions on the surface of the catalysts rather than any type of solution within the metal. The rate of the lower temperature-activated adsorption (type A) agrees closely with that calculated by assuming that all H₂ molecules are adsorbed that strike the catalyst with the observed energy of activation, 10,400 cal.
