A gas undergoes physical adsorption on a surface and follows the given Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation
\(\frac{x}{m} = kp^{0.5}\)
Adsorption of the gas increase with :
\(\frac{x}{m} = kp^{0.5}\)
Adsorption of the gas increase with :
Show Hint
- Decrease in p and increase in T
- Increase in p and decrease in T
- Decrease in p and decrease in T
- Increase in p and increase in T
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The adsorption is physical (physisorption), which is exothermic (\(\Delta H\) negative, about 20-40 kJ/mol). By Le Chatelier's principle, a decrease in temperature favours the exothermic process, so adsorption increases with decrease in \(T\).
Hence adsorption increases with increase in \(p\) and decrease in \(T\).
Answer: (2) Increase in p and decrease in T

- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
