Explain two applications of adsorption.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1. Activated charcoal is used in gas masks. It adsorb harmful gases present in the atmosphere.
2. Silica gel is used to adsorb moisture. It thus helps to protect sensitive optical and electronic equipment from moisture during transit.
3. Column chromatography and then layer chromatography is based on the phenomenon of adsorption.
4. The phenomenon of heterogeneous catalysis is based on adsorption.
