For the adsorption of a solute from a liquid solution onto a solid adsorbent, the empirical Freundli — Surface Chemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The empirical constants $k$ and $n$ are highly dependent on the nature of the solid adsorbent (porosity, surface area), the temperature of the system, and the nature of the solute/solvent pairing. They do not depend on the sheer volume of the holding container as long as the equilibrium concentration $C$ is known.
