A gas undergoes physical adsorption on a surface and follows the given Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation x m = k p 0.5 Adsorption of the gas increases with:
Options
- ADecrease in p and increase in T
- BIncrease in p and decrease in T
- CIncrease in p and increase in T
- DDecrease in p and decrease in T
Correct answer
B. Increase in p and decrease in T
Step-by-step solution
x m = k p   0.5 Physical adsorption increases with decrease in Temperature. According to relation x m ↑ on P ↑ So adsorption increases on increasing pressure.
