I had a Freundlich exponent when I was a kid, but I went away for a weekend and my Mom...

...forgot to feed and it and died.

I've been absorbed in grief ever since.

I don't know why I had to say that, but I just did.

Go back to your normal lives...

I hate it when I come across an equation I used to know but forgot all about.

I have cabin fever, all these Nor'Easters, and was reading some stuff to fill the time, and came across the Freundlich equation, no particular reason, just stumbling around with papers.

I'll try not to do what my mother did, and keep it alive...

he Freundlich equation or Freundlich adsorption isotherm, an adsorption isotherm, is an empirical relation between the concentration of a solute on the surface of an adsorbent to the concentration of the solute in the liquid with which it is in contact.


What language is that?

Solids can remove dissolved chemicals from liquids. This is why they use activated carbon in water filters. The amount of chemical removed goes up as the amount in solution goes up, but it's not a linear relationship. The Freundlich equation describes this relationship.
