Question
What is the role of activated charcoal in gas mask used in coal mines?
Advertisements
Solution
Role of activated charcoal can be explained on the basis of adsorption. In gas mask, charcoal adsorbs the pollutant gases like \[\ce{SO2, NO2, CH4, CO2}\] etc. present in atmosphere due to heavy traffic.
