Adsorption of gas on a surface follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The plot of log ⁡ x m versus log P gives a straight line with slope equal to 0 . 5 , then: ( x m is the mass of the gas adsorbed per gram of adsorbent)

Options

  1. Aadsorption is proportional to the square root of pressure.
  2. Badsorption is proportional to the square of pressure.
  3. Cadsorption is proportional to the pressure.
  4. Dadsorption is independent of pressure.

Correct answer

A. adsorption is proportional to the square root of pressure.

Step-by-step solution

log ( x m ) = 1 2 log ( P ) + log ( K ) ; x m = KP 1 2
