The correct answer is:
$p^{2 / 3}$
According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm $\frac{x}{m} \propto p^{\frac{1}{n}}, \frac{x}{m}=k p^{\frac{1}{n}}$
Slope $=\frac{2}{3}$
$\log \frac{x}{m}=\log k+\frac{1}{n} \log p$
Slope $=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{x}{m} \propto p^{\frac{2}{3}}$
Slope $=\frac{2}{3}$
$\log \frac{x}{m}=\log k+\frac{1}{n} \log p$
Slope $=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{x}{m} \propto p^{\frac{2}{3}}$
