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. logk
  2. log(1/n)
  3. 1n
  4. antilog(1/n)

Solution

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.
