Question

For a linear plot of `log (x/m)` versus log p in a Freundlich adsorption isotherm, which of the following statement is correct? (k and n are constants.)

Options

• Both k and `1/n` appear in the slope term.

• `1/n` appears as the intercept.

• Only `1/n` appears as the slope.

• `log (1/n)` appears as the intercept.

Answer 1

Only `bb(1/n)` appears as the slope.

Explanation:

For the Freundlich adsorption isotherm, the logarithmic form is:

`log (x/m) = 1/n log p + log k`

Here, `(1/n)` is the slope of the linear plot of `log (x/m)` versus log p, and log k is the intercept.

Thus, only `(1/n)` appears as the slope, while (k) appears in the intercept term.
