5.5 What is an adsorption isotherm? Describe Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
The adsorption isotherm is a relation curve between the variation in the amount of gas adsorbed by the adsorbent with pressure at a constant temperature.
Freundlich adsorption isotherm- Freundlich gave an empirical relationship between the quantity of gas adsorbed by a unit mass of solid (adsorbent) and pressure (at a particular temperature).
On taking log both sides-
$\log \frac{x}{m}=\log (k)+\frac{1}{n} \log (p)$
