Which of the following curve is in accordance with Freundlich adsorption isotherm?
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
The relationship between the amount adsorbed ( ( x m ) ) andthe equilibrium pressure ( (p) ) is given as: [ x m =k p^ 1 n (1) ] Taking log of Eq. (1) on both sides, we get [ x m = k+ 1 n p (2) ] By plotting ( (x / m) ) against ( p ), we get straight line with slope ( (1 / n) ) and intercept is log k. Hence, the curve will be
