Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To determine which of the two substances, ammonia (NH₃) or carbon dioxide (CO₂), will be adsorbed more readily on the surface of charcoal, we need to consider the nature of adsorption and the properties of the molecules involved.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding Adsorption**:
Adsorption is the process by which atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid adhere to a surface. It can be influenced by various factors, including the nature of the adsorbate (the substance being adsorbed) and the adsorbent (the surface on which adsorption occurs).
2. **Nature of Charcoal**:
...
Which is adsorbed in minium amount by the activated charcoal?
Which of the two, He and Ne , gets adsorbed on the surface of charcoal more readily and why?
Give reasons for the following observations : (a) A deal is formed at the meeting point of sea water and river water. (b) NH_(3) gas adsorbs more readily than N_(2) gas on the surface of charcoal. (c ) Powdered substances are more effective adsorbents.
Adsorption is a surface phenomenon and it differs feom adsorption which occurs throughout the body of the substance which absorbs. In physisorption, the attractive forces are mainly van der Waals' forces while in chemisorption actual bonding occurs between the particles of adsorbent and adsorbente. Generally, easily liquefying gases are adsorbed more easily on the surface of a solid as compared to teh gases whihc are liquefied with difficult. Adsorption increases with the increases in pressure and decreases as the temperature is increases. The ease with which the gases H_(2),CH_(4),CO_(2)and NH_(3) are adsorbed on the surface of charcoal is :
Which of the following is adsorbed greatly by activated charcoal?
