    If\[(x/m)\]is the mass of adsorbate adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent. P is the pressure of the abdsorbate gas and a and b are constants, which of the following represents Langmuir adsorption isotherm?

    A) \[\log \left( \frac{x}{m} \right)=\log \left( \frac{a}{b} \right)+\frac{1}{a}\log p\]

    B) \[\frac{x}{m}=\frac{b}{a}+\frac{1}{ap}\]

    C) \[\frac{x}{m}=\frac{1+bp}{ap}\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{(x/m)}=\frac{a}{b}+\frac{p}{a}\]

    E) \[\frac{1}{(x/m)}=\frac{b}{a}+\frac{1}{ap}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    If,\[x/m\]is the mass of adsorbate per unit mass of adsorbent. P is the pressure of the adsorbate gas and a and b are constants. Then Langmuir adsorption isotherm is given as: \[\frac{x}{m}=\frac{ap}{1+bp}\] Or           \[\frac{1}{x/m}=\frac{1+bp}{ap}\]                 \[\frac{1}{x/m}=\frac{1}{ap}+\frac{b}{a}\]
