NEETChemistrySurface Chemistry
How does the volume of gas influence the adsorption of gas by a solid, according to Le-Chatelier’s principle?
Options
- AMore gas is adsorbed when the volume increases.
- BMore gas is adsorbed when the volume decreases.
- CVolume has no effect on adsorption.
- DAdsorption is independent of volume changes.
Correct answer
B. More gas is adsorbed when the volume decreases.
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph mentions that more gas is adsorbed when pressure is increased, leading to a decrease in the volume of the gas (Le–Chateliers’s principle).
