In a plot of \(\log \left(\frac{x}{m}\right) v s \log p\), for the adsorption of a gas on solid, a straight line is obtained. The slope of that straight line is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{n}\)
  2. B \(K\)
  3. C \(n\)
  4. D \(\log K\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Freundlich adsorption isotherm, \(\frac{x}{m}=K p^{\frac{1}{n}}\) \(\Rightarrow \log \frac{x}{m}=\log K+\frac{1}{n} \log p\) So, the plot of \(\log \left(\frac{x}{m}\right)\) ws \(\log p\) results a straight line of slope \(=\frac{1}{n}\) intercept \(=\log K\)
