Freundlich proposed the following empirical equation for adsorption of a gas on solid.

\(\frac{x}{m}\) = k P1/n  (n > 1) ……(i)

Where, 

x = Mass of the gas adsorbed

m = Mass of the adsorbent

\(\frac{x}{m}\) = Mass of gas adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent

P = Equilibrium pressure k and n are constants which depend on the nature of adsorbate, adsorbent and temperature.
