Assertion (A): The Langmuir isotherm predicts a coverage that saturates at high pressure.
Reason (R): There are a finite number of sites and each can hold only one molecule.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism: once every site is occupied, further pressure can add nothing, which is exactly the plateau the isotherm shows. Coverage cannot exceed one monolayer. Saturation is the defining feature of the isotherm.
