     What is an adsorption isotherm? Describe Freundlich adsorption isotherm.

    Answer:

    The graph between amount of gas adsorbed per unit mass of the adsorbent x /m and pressure of the gas at a constant temperature is known as Adsorption Isotherm. After saturation pressure there is no more adsorption on the surface.     At low pressure: is directly proportional to pressure                                                ? (i) where k is a constant of proportionality. At high pressure: The value of  remains same indicating that is independent of pressure.       ?. (ii) At intermediate pressure: The value of  is proportional to some fractional power of pressure      ??. (iii) where n = 1, 2, 3, 4. ..     The equation (iii) is called Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
