Correct answer: 3

Solution

Freundlich, in 1909, gave an empirical relationship between the quantity of gas adsorbed by unit mass of solid adsorbent and pressure at a particular temperature. The relationship can be expressed by the following equation

Xm=KP1n

Where x is the mass of the gas adsorbed on mass m of the adsorbent at pressure P, k and n are constants which depend on the nature of the adsorbent and the gas at a particular temperature. The relationship is generally represented in the form of a curve where mass of the gas adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent is plotted against pressure.

logxm=1nlogp+logk

Freundlich isotherm explains the behaviour of adsorption in an approximate manner. The factor 1n can have values between 0 and 1

Hence, the correct answer is 3.
