Question

Give reason why a finely divided substance is more effective as an adsorbent.​

Answer 1

Adsorption is directly proportional to the surface area as adsorption is surface phenomenon. A finely divided substance behaves like a good adsorbent because it has a large surface area. Both physisorption and chemisorption increase with an increase in the surface area.
