The mass of gas adsorbed,$x$,per unit mass of adsorbent,$m$,was measured at various pressures,$p$. $A$ graph between $\log(x/m)$ and $\log p$ gives a straight line with slope equal to $2$ and the intercept equal to $0.4771$. The value of $x/m$ at a pressure of $4 \text{ atm}$ is: (Given $\log 3 = 0.4771$)

Adsorption of a gas on solids follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The graph drawn between $\log \frac{x}{m}$ (on y-axis) and $\log p$ (on x-axis) is a straight line with slope equal to $3$ and intercept equal to $0.30$. What is the value of $\frac{x}{m}$ at a pressure of $2 \ atm$?
(Given; $\log 2 = 0.3$ )
