Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (i),(ii)&(iii)only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the Freundlich isotherm, thevariation of extent of adsorption (x/m) with pressure (P) was given mathematically by Freundlich.Where n can take any whole number value which depends uponthe nature of adsorbate and adsorbent. The above relationship is also called…
