    What is the value of 1/n in Freundlich adsorption isotherm2

    A)  Between 2 and 4 in all cases

    B)  Between 0 and 1 in all cases

    C)  1 in case of chemisorptions

    D)  1 in case of physical adsorption

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Freundlich adsorption isotherm is given as \[\frac{x}{m}=k{{p}^{1/n}}\]  or \[\log \frac{x}{m}=\log \,k+\frac{1}{n}\log \,p\] Graph between \[\log \frac{x}{m}\]and log p is a straight line with slope \[\frac{1}{n}\]and intercept log k. Thus value of \[\frac{1}{n}\]lies between 0 and 1 in all cases.
