Q. A plot of log x/m versus log p for the adsorption of a gas on a solid gives a straight line with slope equal to :
A) −log k
B) n
C) 1/n
D) log k
Explanation
[Solution from source] The Freundlich isotherm is x/m = kp^(1/n); taking logs, log(x/m) = log k + (1/n) log p. A plot of log(x/m) against log p is a straight line with slope 1/n and intercept log k. Answer (3).
