How do size of particles of adsorbent, pressure of gas, and prenvailing temperature influence the extent of adsorption of a gas on a solid?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. Smaller the size of the particles of an adsorbent greater
b. At constant temperature, adsorption first increases with increase of pressure and then attains equilibrium at high pressures.
c. In physical adsorption, it decreases with increase of temperature but in chemisorption, first it increase and then decreases.
