Steric hindrance.
Answer:-
This effect was thought to be spatial effect brought into play by mechanistic interference between groups and is known as steric hindrance.Steric hindrance arises due to the geometry of the reactant molecule.
What is Freundlich adsorption isotherm ?
Explanation:- 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. According to freundlich isotherm, The extent of adsorption of a gas per unit mass of adsorbent depends upon the pressure of that gas. I.e Look at the Graph,(x/m) vs (p) Equation (1) is the general form of freundlich adsorption isotherm. Case-1( at low pressure) If x/m =kp¹ That implies 1/n=1 I.e n=1 So at low pressure freundlich adsorption isotherm holds good because initially their is more adsorption occur. Case-2 (at high pressure) If x/m=constant i.e1/n=0 That implies n=infinity So at high pressure x/m independent on pressure because after saturation pressure their is no adsorption occur due to no space on adsorbent. At saturation pressure Amount of gas adsorbed=amount of gas desorbed. Look at the logarithm graph of equation (1) This is all about freundlich adsor
