    What is the equation form of Langmuir adsorption isotherm under high pressure?

    A)  \[\frac{x}{m}=\frac{a}{b}\]                           

    B) \[\frac{x}{m}=ap\]

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

    D) \[\frac{x}{m}=\frac{b}{a}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Langmuir adsorption isotherm is represented as \[\frac{x}{m}=\frac{ap}{1+bp}\] Where, a and b are Langmuir parameters. If pressure p is very high then \[bp>>>\,\,1\], hence \[1+bp\approx bp\]. \[\therefore \] \[\frac{x}{m}=\frac{ap}{bp}=\frac{a}{b}=\]constant
