Question

Extent of adsorption of adsorbate from solution phase increases with ______.

Options

• increase in amount of adsorbate in solution.

• decrease in surface area of adsorbent.

• increase in temperature of solution.

• decrease in amount of adsorbate in solution.

Answer 1

Extent of adsorption of adsorbate from solution phase increases with increase in amount of adsorbate in solution.

Explanation:

Extent of adsorption depends on the concentration of the solute in a solution. The concentration of adsorbate increase the interaction between adsorbate and adsorbent thus the extent of adsorption also increases.
