A plot of log(x/m) verses log(P) for adsorption of a gas on a solid gives a straight line with a slope of

  1. A logk
  2. B log(1/n)
  3. C 1n
  4. D antilog(1/n)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1n

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the Freundlich's Adsorption Isotherm, xm=k·p1/n By taking the log both sides, logxm=logk+1nlogp Compare this equation with y=mx+c Here, m is the slope of reaction. So, from the equation logxm=logk+1nlogp the slope is =1n.
