Q. The equation for Freundlich adsorption isotherm is
A) $\frac{x}{m} = kp^{1/n}$
B) $x = mkp^{1/n}$
C) $x/m = kp^{- n}$
D) All of these
Explanation
(d)
Freundlich adsorption isotherm gives relationship between pressure and amount of substrate adsorbed.
$x/m = kp^{\frac{1}{n}}$ (where, $x/m = amount\ adsorbed\ ,p = pressure$)
or $x = m.kp^{\frac{1}{n}}$
or $x/m = kp^{- n}$
$\therefore$ All equations represent Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
