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.
In the given isotherm select the incorrect statement:
  1. \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{~m}} \propto \mathrm{P}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\) along OA
  2. \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{~m}} \propto \mathrm{P}^{0}\) when point B is reached
  3. \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{~m}}\) does not increase as rapidly with pressure along BC due to less surface area available for adsorption
  4. nature of isotherm is different for two gases for same adsorbent

Answer

(B) x ~m P ^ 0 when point B is reached
