Question

For a linear plot of log $\left(\frac{x}{m}\right)$ versus log p in a Freundlich adsorption isotherm, which of the following statements is correct? (k and n are constants)

• A. appears as the intercept.
• B. Only appears as the slope.
• C. log appears as the intercept.
• D. Both k and appear in the slope term.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Only appears as the slope.

According to Freundlich adsorption isother :

$\frac{x}{m}=k\times P^{\frac{1}{n}}$
$\therefore log\frac{x}{m}=\frac{1}{n}logP+logk$

Y = m.x + C
