Question

Your boss is interested in the sorption of a chemical into soil and she

remembers reading about Freundlich isotherms and that they describe the

mass of solute sorbed per unit mass of soil as a function of the concentration

of the solute in the liquid phase. Your boss wants to know what data needs to

be collected and how it should be plotted and regressed using Excel in order to

determine the parameters (and their associated error) in the Freundlich

isotherm. Provide a detailed response to your bosses question with an

example.
