For a small range of pressure values, we can write :
x/m ∝ P^1/n or xm = KP^1/n
Where n = Positive integer
K = constant depends upon the nature of adsorbate and adsorbent at a particular temperature.
The factor 1 / n has values between 0 and 1.
This relationship was given by Freundlich and is known as Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
