MEDIUM

Given:

Question Image

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

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.
MEDIUM

Define the following term : Adsorbent

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.
