For Freundlich adsorption isotherm, a graph of \(\log (x / m)\) vs \(\log (p)\) gives a straight line. The slope of line and its \(Y\)-axis intercept respectively are

  1. A \(\log \left(\frac{1}{n}\right) k\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{n}, \log k\)
  3. C \(\log \left(\frac{1}{n}\right) \log k\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{n}, k\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{n}, \log k\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, Freundich adsorption
isotherm equation is given by
\(\log \frac{x}{m}=\log k+\frac{1}{n} \log p\)
Also equation of straight line is
\(y=m x+c\)
On comparing Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get Slope, \(m=\frac{1}{n}\)
Intercept, \(c=\log k\)
