Which of the following statements about the Freundlich isotherm x/m=kp1/n for a gas are correct?
AA plot of log(x/m) against logp is a straight line
BThe value of 1/n lies between 0 and 1 in the usual range
Cx/m increases linearly with p at all pressures
DIt fails at sufficiently high pressure
Answer: A, B, D
The log form is linear, and 0<1/n<1 for typical gas adsorption. The relation is a power law, not linear, and it fails at high pressure because it predicts unlimited adsorption while real surfaces saturate.
