Consider the adsorption isotherm given below and interpret the variation in the extent of adsorption `(x/m)` when
a. Temperature increased at constant pressure.
b. Pressure increases at constant temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At constant pressure, adsorption deceases with increase in temperature as it is an exothermic process.
b. As pressure increases at constant temperature, initially adsorption increases upto a particular pressure and then it remains constant.
