Q19 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (08 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

Adsorption of a gas follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. x is the mass of the gas adsorbed on mass m of the adsorbent. The plot of logxm vs  logp  is shown in the given graph. xm is proportional to,
Figure

  • A
    p3
  • B
    p2
  • Correct answer
    C
    p2/3
  • D
    p3/2

Solution

According to Freundlich adsorption Isotherm,
xm=kP1n
log⁡xm=log⁡k+1nlog⁡p
y=mx+c;  m=1n;
from the graph, m=23
xm=kP23
xm∝P23.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
