Key Points: Factors Affecting Adsorption of Gases on Solids

  1. Nature of adsorbent — Substances with large surface area per unit mass (porous solids like silica gel and charcoal) are more effective adsorbents
  2. Surface area — Greater the surface area of the adsorbent, greater is the extent of adsorption
  3. Temperature — Adsorption is exothermic, so it decreases with rise in temperature (and vice versa)
  4. Pressure of the gas — At constant temperature, extent of gas adsorption increases with increase in pressure
  5. Nature of adsorbate (gas) — Gases that are more easily liquefiable (e.g., SO₂, Cl₂, NH₃) get adsorbed to a larger extent compared to gases like N₂, O₂, H₂
