An adsorption isotherm is defined as the relationship between the amount of a substance adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent, and the equilibrium pressure (in the case of a gas) or equilibrium concentration (in the case of a solution), measured at a given constant temperature.
Step 2. Note why 'iso-therm'. The word isotherm signals that temperature is held fixed while pressure/concentration is varied -- a different isotherm curve is obtained at each different temperature (as shown by the family of curves in Fig 11.2). …
