The curve that best describes the adsorption of a gas xg on 1.0 g of a solid substrate as a function of pressure p at a fixed temperature

Figure is

  • A
    1
  • Correct answer
    B
    2
  • C
    3
  • D
    4

Solution

Variation of mass of gas adsorbed x per mass of adsorbent m with increase in pressure is given by 

xm∝p1/n (Freundlich isotherm)

which is graphically represented by graph 2.

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