Freundlich adsorption isotherms for the physical adsorption of a gas at temperatures $T_1$,$T_2$ and $T_3$ are shown in the graph given below. The correct relationship between $T_1$,$T_2$ and $T_3$ is:

What is the difference between adsorbent and adsorbate?

To form a complete monolayer of acetic acid on $1 \ g$ of charcoal,$100 \ mL$ of $0.5 \ M$ acetic acid was used. Some of the acetic acid remained unadsorbed. To neutralize the unadsorbed acetic acid,$40 \ mL$ of $1 \ M$ $NaOH$ solution was required. If each molecule of acetic acid occupies $P \times 10^{-23} \ m^2$ surface area on charcoal,the value of $P$ is $\qquad$
[Use given data : Surface area of charcoal $= 1.5 \times 10^2 \ m^2 \ g^{-1}$; Avogadro's number $(N_A) = 6.0 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$]

In the Freundlich isotherm $\frac{x}{m}=k p^{\frac{1}{n}}$ plot of $\log \frac{x}{m}$ vs $\log p$, the intercept is (where, $x$, $m$, $p$ and $k$ are mass of the gas, mass of adsorbent, pressure and constant which depend on the nature of the adsorbent, respectively)
