3 Questions around this concept.
The curve showing the variation of adsorption with pressure of constant temperature is called?
Which of the following statement (s) is true
I – Slope of isotherm at critical point is maximum.
II – Larger is the value of TC easier is the liquification of gas.
III – Vander Waal's equation of state is applicable below critical temperature at all pressure.
Now As you have learned about types of adsorption. Let us know how to calculate the extent of the adsorption. This calculation is mainly done using different types of adsorption isotherms. We will limit ourselves to only Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
What is adsorption isotherm?
The variation in the amount of gas adsorbed by the adsorbent with pressure at constant temperature can be expressed by means of a curve termed as adsorption isotherm. Or in other words, the plots of extent of adsorption(x/m) vs pressure at constant temperature are called Adsorption isotherms.
Here 'x' refers to the mass of gas adsorbed by 'm' mass of adsorbent.
