What is the effect of surface area on adsorption?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Adsorption**: - Adsorption is the process where molecules from a gas or liquid accumulate on the surface of a solid. In this context, the solid is referred to as the adsorbent, and the molecules that accumulate are called the adsorbate. 2. **Understanding Surface Area**: - The surface area of an adsorbent is crucial because it determines how many molecules can interact with the surface. A larger surface area means more available sites for adsorption. ...
