Freundlich adsorption isotherm is given by the expression xm=kp1n Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this expression?

(a) When 1n=0, the adsorption is independent of pressure
(b) When 1n=0, the adsorption is directly proportional to pressure
(c) When n =0, \(x\over m\)vs p graph is a line parallel to x-axis
(d) When n = 0, plot of  xm vs p is a curve
 

The correct choice among the given is -
1. (a), (b)
2. (b), (c)
3. (c), (d)
4. (a), (c)

 According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm
                                        xm p1nxm=kp1n
(a) At 1n=0, thiss equation becomes xm=kp°=k
Extent of adsorption is independent of pressure.
(c) At x = 0     xm=kp10=kp
Hence, xm vs P graph can be plotted as
