How can the constants k and n of the freundlich adsorption equation be calculated ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Freundlich equation,l `x/m=kP^(1//m).` Therefore, `log ""x/m=log k +1/n log P.` Thus, on plotting `log ""x/m` vessus log P, we will get a straight line whose slope `=1/n` and intercept on y-axis= log k. Hence, measuring the slope and the intercept, k and n can be calculated.
