Solution

The correct option is D 5 g
According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm :

log(xm)=logk+1nlogP

When log log(xm) is plotted against log P, we get straight line of slope (1/n) and intercept (log k).

1n=tan45o=1

logk=log10=1

xm=k(P)1/n=10(0.5)1=5

When m=1 g,x=5 g

Hence, option D is correct.
