Concept:
The Freundlich adsorption isotherm is given by the equation: \(\frac{x}{m} = k \cdot p^{1/n}\). Taking the logarithm on both sides yields the linear equation: \(\log(\frac{x}{m}) = \log k + \frac{1}{n} \log p\). This matches the form \(y = c + mx\), where the slope is \(1/n\) and the intercept is \(\log k\).
Step 1: Determine the constants from the graph.
The slope is given as 2, so \(1/n = 2\). The intercept is 0.60, which equals \(\log k\).
Given \(\log 4 = 0.60\), we find \(k = 4\).
Step 2: Calculate the value of \(x/m\) at p = 9 atm.
Using the isotherm equation \(\frac{x}{m} = k \cdot p^{1/n}\):
\[
\frac{x}{m} = 4 \cdot (9)^2 = 4 \cdot 81 = 324
\]
