Question:

The adsorption of a gas on solid adsorbent follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The graph drawn between $ \frac{X}{m} $ and $ p $ at different temperatures X, Y, Z is shown. (X = mass of gas adsorbed, m = mass of adsorbent and p = Pressure of gas). The correct relation between X, Y, Z is:

Show Hint

In adsorption studies, the amount of adsorption decreases with increasing temperature because the adsorbate molecules acquire enough energy to escape the adsorbent surface.

  • \( X>Y>Z \)
  • \( Z>Y>X \)
  • \( X>Z>Y \)
  • \( Z>X>Y \)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm, the amount of gas adsorbed increases with increasing pressure. At higher temperatures, the adsorption decreases as the gas molecules gain more energy and escape from the surface of the adsorbent.
Thus, the correct relation between the three graphs is \( X>Y>Z \).
