Question

Increase in _____________ of the adsorbent increases the total amount of the gas adsorbed

(a) Density
(b) Volume
(c) Surface area
(d) Surface tension​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Increase in _____________ of the adsorbent increases the total amount of the gas adsorbed

• (c) Surface area

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is (c) Surface area.

Explanation:

The adsorbing power of a solid adsorbent may be increased by increasing its surface area.

• It can be done by dividing the adsorbent. It increases the actives sites, that are, the cracks or corners on the solid adsorbent.
• By producing roughness on the surface of the solid adsorbent.
• By removing the gases that have been already adsorbed on the adsorbent surface through vacuuming. This process is known as desorption.

Conclusion:

Increase in surface area of the adsorbent increases the total amount of the gas adsorbed.
