In the Freundlich isotherm \(\left(\frac{\chi}{m}=k_P{ }^{1 / n}\right)\) plot of \(\log \frac{x}{m} v s \log p\), the intercept is (where, \(x, m, p\) and \(k\) are mass of the gas, mass of adsorbent, pressure and constant which depend on the nature of the adsorbent, respectively)

  1. A \(k\)
  2. B \(\log k\)
  3. C \(e^k\)
  4. D \(\ln \frac{1}{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\log k\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation \(\frac{x}{m}=k_p^{\frac{1}{n}}\) or \(\log \frac{x}{m}=\log k+\frac{1}{n} \log p\) A plot of \(\log \frac{x}{m}\) versus \(\log p\) is linear with slope \(=\frac{1}{n}\) and intercept \(=\log k\).
