Question

When $\left(\frac{x}{m}\right)$ is plotted against $\frac{1}{P}$, we get a straight line with slope $\frac{1}{a}$ and intercept $\frac{b}{a}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Mathematical equation for langmuir adsorption isotherm $\frac{x}{m}=\frac{aP}{1+bP}$ .

Upon dividing with P both numerator and denominator we get the modified equation to be $\frac{x}{m}=\frac{a}{\frac{1}{P}+b}$ .

So a graph between $\frac{x}{m}$ and $\frac{1}{P}$ we get a hyperbola which is clear from the equation but not a straight line.

So given statement is False.
