Which of the following gases is readily adsorbed by solid adsorbent?
✓
$Cl _2$
B
$N _2$
C
$O _2$
D
$H _2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$Cl _2$
(a) : Greater is the size of molecule, greater will be the van der Waals attraction, higher will be the critical temperature and more easily the gas can be liquefied and adsorbed.
(d): According to Hardy-Schulze rule, the greater the valence of the flocculating ion added, the greater is its power to cause precipitation. In the coagulation of a negative sol, the flocculating power is in the order $Al ^{3+}> Ba ^{2+}> Na ^{+}$.
The relation between the amount of substance adsorbed by an adsorbent and the equilibrium pressure or …………. at any constant temperature is called adsorption isotherm.
