Question

For a linear plot of log xm versus log p in a Freundlich adsorption isotherm, which of the following statements is correct? (k and n are constants)

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
AOnly 1n appears as the slope.

Step-by-step explanation

According to Freundlich isotherm,


xm=k.p1n   {Taking log}

log⁡xm=log⁡k+1nlog⁡P

y=c+mx (Straight line equation)

So, intercept is log k and slope is=1n.
