Which of the following statements is not applicable to chemisorption?

If $x$ gram of gas is adsorbed by $m$ gram of adsorbent at pressure $P$,the plot of $\log \frac{x}{m}$ versus $\log P$ is linear. The slope of the plot is: ($n$ and $k$ are constants and $n > 1$ )

In a Freundlich adsorption isotherm,if the slope is unity and $k$ is $0.1$,the extent of adsorption at $2 \ atm$ is $(\log 2 = 0.30)$

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ Amongst $He$,$Ne$,$Ar$ and $Kr$; $1 \ g$ of activated charcoal adsorbs more of $Kr$.
Reason $R$: The critical volume $V_c \left( cm^3 \ mol^{-1} \right)$ and critical pressure $P_c \left( atm \right)$ is highest for Krypton but the compressibility factor at critical point $Z_c$ is lowest for Krypton.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

$3.12 \, g$ of oxygen is adsorbed on $1.2 \, g$ of platinum metal. The volume of oxygen adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent at $1 \, atm$ and $300 \, K$ in $L$ is ..... .
$[R = 0.0821 \, L \, atm \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}]$
