How does the decrease in volume of the gas influence physical adsorption?
Options
- AIt increases adsorption.
- BIt decreases adsorption.
- CIt has no effect on adsorption.
- DIt makes adsorption irreversible.
Correct answer
A. It increases adsorption.
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph mentions that more gas is adsorbed when pressure is increased as the volume of the gas decreases (Le–Chateliers’s principle).
