In Langmuir adsorption isotherm, what is the slope and Y-intercept? 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(x)/(m)=(aP)/(1+bP) (or) (P)/((x//m))=(1+bP)/(a)`
`(P)/(x//m)=(1)/(a)+((b)/(a))P (or) (P)/(x//m)=((b)/(a))P+(1)/(a)`
A plot of `((P)/(x//m))` versus P is a straight line with
Y-intercept equal to 1/a and slope equal to b/a
