Question
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)
-
1/n appears as the intercept.
-
Only 1/n appears as the slope.
-
log (1/n) appears as the intercept.
-
Both k and 1/n appear in the slope term
Solution
B.
Only 1/n appears as the slope.
According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm,
On taking logarithm both sides, we get
c= intercept = log k, m =slope = 1/n and x = log p
