For the adsorption of a solution on a solid surface,the Freundlich adsorption isotherm is given by $\frac{x}{m} = k C^{1/n}$. The plot of $\log (\frac{x}{m})$ versus $\log C$ is shown below. This corresponds to which of the following conditions?

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$.
List-$I$ List-$II$
$A$. Physisorption $I$. Single layer adsorption
$B$. Chemisorption $II$. $20-40 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$
$C$. $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \xrightarrow{Fe(s)} 2NH_{3(g)}$ $III$. Chromatography
$D$. Analytical Application of Adsorption $IV$. Heterogeneous catalysis

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The adsorption of a gas on a solid surface follows the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. At $T(K)$,the gas pressure is $2 \ atm$. What is the value of $\frac{x}{m}$? (Given: $n=2$ and $k=$ constant)

Assertion : The enthalpy of physisorption is greater than chemisorption.
Reason : Molecules of adsorbate and adsorbent are held by van der Waal's forces in physisorption and by chemical bonds in chemisorption.

The adsorption of a gas on a solid surface varies with the pressure of the gas in which of the following manners?
