JEE PYQ: Surface Chemistry Question 8
Question 8 - 2021 (25 Feb Shift 1)
Type: MCQ
In Freundlich adsorption isotherm at moderate pressure, the extent of adsorption $\left(\frac{x}{m}\right)$ is directly proportional to $P^x$. The value of $x$ is:
(a) $\infty$
(b) $1$
(c) zero
(d) $\frac{1}{n}$
Show Answer
Answer: (c)
Solution
$\frac{x}{m} = kP^{1/n}$. The formula is $\frac{x}{m} \propto P^{1/n}$. Hence $x = \frac{1}{n}$. The value of $n$ is any natural number.
