Question 21. The mass of gas adsorbed, x, per unit mass of adsorbate, m, was measured at various pressures, p. A graph between log [x / m] and log p gives a straight line with slope equal to 2 and the intercept equal to 0.4771. The value of [x / m] at a pressure of 4 atm is: (Given log 3 = 0.4771)
Solution:
-
(x / m) = KP1/n
log (x / m) = log (k) + (1 / n) log (p)
y = c + mx
Intercept C = logk = 0.4771
Slope = 1 / n = 2, k = 3
(x / m) = k (P)1/n at P = 4 atm
