Question
In reference to Freundlich adsorption isotherm write the expression for adsorption of gases on solids in the form of an equation.

Answer

Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation for adsorption of gases on solids:
$\frac{\text{x}}{\text{m}}=\text{kp}^\frac{1}{\text{n}}\ \ (\text{n > 1})$
or $\text{log} \ \frac{\text{x}}{\text{m}}=\text{log k}+\frac{1}{\text{n}}\text{log p}$
where x is the mass of the gas adsorbed on mass m of the adsorbent at pressure p, k and n are constants which depends on the nature of the gas and adsorbent at a particular temperature.
