Adsorption Isotherm Curve: The low pressure (beginning region) of an adsorption isotherm curve can be approximated with a linear equation of the form: X₁* = K x P₁. The data in the table below provides laboratory measured values of the partial pressure of an adsorbate P¡ versus the mass fraction of adsorbate on the adsorbent X;*. Determine the value of K for the equation above using the data in the table, and also provide the r-squared value of this linear equation fit.
