Solution
The correct option is C independent of the pressure of the gas Freundlich gave an empirical relationship between the quantity of gas adsorbed by a unit mass of solid adsorbent and the pressure at a particular temperature. The relationship can be expressed by the following equation: xm=KP1/n
On taking logarithm on both sides of the equation, logxm=logK+1nlogP
Here 1n is slope and if it is zero then adsorption is independent of pressure as 1nlogP=0
