What is an adsorption isotherm and isobar?

Answer:

The variation in the amount of gas adsorbed by the adsorbent with pressure at constant temperature can be expressed by means of a curve termed as adsorption isotherm.

A plot of the amount of gas adsorbed x / m against the pressure at constant temperature is called an adsorption isotherm.


A plot of the amount adsorbed x / m versus temperature at constant pressure is called an adsorption isobar.
