Question:

Plot of $ log\text{ }x/m $ against log $p$ is a straight line inclined at an angle of $ 45{}^\circ $ . When the pressure is $ 0.5 \,arm $ and Freundlich parameter. $ k $ is $ 10 $ , the amount of solute adsorbed per gram of adsorbent will be $ (log\text{ }5=0.6990) $

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation is
$ \frac{x}{m}=k{{p}^{1/n}} $
On taking log both sides
$ \log \frac{x}{m}=\log k+\frac{1}{n}\log \,p $
$ \log \frac{x}{m}=\log \,10+\frac{1}{n}\log \,0.5 $
( $ \because $ $ slope=\frac{1}{n}=tan\,\theta =tan\text{ }45{}^\circ =1 $ ) $ \log \frac{x}{m}=1+\frac{1}{1}\log (5\times {{10}^{-1}}) $
$ \log \frac{x}{m}=1-0.6990+1 $ $ =0.6990 $
$ \frac{x}{m}=5.00 $
$ =5g. $

Adsorption

Heinrich Kayser, the German physicist was the first to coin the term adsorption. Adsorption can be explained as a surface phenomenon where particles remain attached on the top of a material. Generally, it comprises the molecules, atoms, liquid, solid in a dissolved stage, even the ions of a gas that are attached to the surface. Much to our surprise, the consequence of surface energy i.e. adsorption is present in biological, physical, chemical, and natural systems and are used in many industrial applications.
