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

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Both k and 1/n appear in the slope term.
  • B 1/n appears as the intercept.
  • C Only 1/n appears as the slope
  • D log (1/n) appears as the intercept.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm

log⁡xm=log⁡K+1nlog⁡ P\log {x \over m} = \log K + {1 \over n}\log \,P

Thus if a graph is plotted between log (x/m)(x/m)

and log P,P, a straight line will be obtained

The slope of the line is equal to 1/n1/n and the intercept on log x/mx/m axis is will correspond to loglog K.K.
