On the basis of data given above, predict which of the following gases shows the least adsorption on a definite amount of charcoal?

MEDIUM
3 g of activated charcoal was added to 50 mL of acetic acid solution (0.06 N) in a flask. After an hour, it was filtered and the strength of the filtrate was found to be 0.042 N. The amount of acetic acid adsorbed (per gram of charcoal) is:
EASY
Adsorption of gas on a surface follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The plot of logxm versus logP gives a straight line with slope equal to 0.5, then:

(xm is the mass of the gas adsorbed per gram of adsorbent)
HARD
When O2 is adsorbed on a metallic surface, electron transfer occurs from the metal to O2 . The TRUE statement(s) regarding this adsorption is(are)
MEDIUM

Define the following term : Adsorbent

MEDIUM
For a linear plot of log xm versus log p in a Freundlich adsorption isotherm, which of the following statements is correct? (k and n are constants)
EASY
Which one of the following is not a property of physical adsorption?
EASY
Which of the following graph is correctly represented according to Freundlich isotherm.
MEDIUM
When any solid substance is kept in contact with liquid or gas, then liquid or gas are more adsorbed on the surface of solid rather than bulk. The process is known as adsorption. It is different from absorption. Many gaseous reactions occur in the presence of solid catalyst. Catalyst is a chemical substance which change the rate of reaction without undergoing itself change. This phenomenon is known as catalysis.
Write any two differences between Absorption and Adsorption.
 
MEDIUM
When 200 mL of 0.2 M acetic acid is shaken with 0.6 g of wood charcoal, the final concentration of acetic acid after adsorption is 0.1 M. The mass of acetic acid adsorbed per gram of carbon is g.
EASY
A particular adsorption process has the following characteristics: (i) It arises due to van der Waals forces and (ii) it is reversible. Identify the correct statement that describes the above adsorption process:
EASY
Which one of the following processes does NOT use adsorption?
MEDIUM
Adsorption of a gas follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. x is the mass of the gas adsorbed on mass m of the adsorbent. The plot of logxm vs  logp  is shown in the given graph. xm is proportional to,
