Options:
  • A the rate of dissociation of adsorbed molecules from the surface does not depend on the surface covered
  • B the adsorption at a single site on the surface may involve multiple molecules at the same time
  • C the mass of gas striking a given area of surface is proportional to the pressure of the gas
  • D the mass of gas striking a given area of surface is independent of the pressure of the gas

The correct answer is: the mass of gas striking a given area of surface is proportional to the pressure of the gas
According to Langmuir's adsorption isotherm, the mass of gas striking a given area of surface is proportional to the pressure of the gas as $\frac{x}{m}=\frac{k^{\prime} p}{1+k p}$
