A graph between x/m and the pressure P of the gas at a constant temperature is called adsorption isotherm. Where x is the no. of moles of the adsorbate and m is the mass of the adsorbent. Adsorption isotherms of different shapes have been experimentally observed. According to Fruendlich adsorption isotherm.
x/m = kP1/n
where k and n are constant parameters depending upon the nature of the solid and gas.
Graph between \(\log \left(\frac{x}{m}\right)\) and log P is a straight line at angle 45o with intercept OA as shown.
 
Hence, \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{~m}}\right)\) at a pressure of 2 atm is:
  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 8
  4. 1

Answer

(B) 4
