Answer 1

Suphur Dioxide is the suitable example of Adsorbate

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Adsorption -

Adhesion of one molecular species (adsorbate) on the surface of another (adsorbent) is called adsorption.

# Factors affecting adsorption of gaseous adsorbate on solid adsorbent -

1. Surface area of adsorbent
2. Nature of gas
3. Size of adsorbent particles
4. Heat of adsorption
5. Temperature
6. Pressure
7. Reversibility
8. Thickness of gas layer
9. Presence of impurities

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
