Surface coverage of reduced molybdena by chemisorbed CO is substantially lower than the surface coverage by chemisorbed O/sub 2/. The surface coverage by chemisorbed CO decreases as the temperature of chemisorption is increased from -195 to 0/sup 0/C. Chemisorption of O/sub 2/ at low temperatures is to be preferred to that of CO as a possible means of measuring the dispersion of reduced molybdena on an alumina support.
