The specific surface area of polluting dust particles has been determined by gas adsorption:

Treatment__________________Asp (m2g-1)
4 h under vacuum at 200 °C_____5.61
8 h under vacuum at 25 °C_____2.81


Assume that they are monodisperse spheres of density r = 2.2 g/cm3. Calculate the radius of the particles.
Propose an explanation for the effect of degassing on particle size.


The radia are 243 nm and 485 nm, but what is the explanation?
