Question

How does adsorption of gases by solids depend on the nature of adsorbate?

Answer 1

higher the critical temperature higher the ease of adsorption

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Effect of nature of adsorbate on extent of adsorption -

- Elemental gases like H2, O2, N2 are hardly adsorbed by the solids.

- Compound gases mainly NH3, CO2, H2S are absorbed to a greater extent by solid adsorbent.

◆ Key concepts here -

- Gas that is been adsorbed is called adsorbate.

- Solid that adsorbs the gas is called adsorbent.

Hope this helped you..
