Identify example of sorption from following.

Options

  1. ACharcol is added to methylene blue solution.
  2. BChalk is dipped in ink.
  3. CHydrogen gas is passed over platinum.
  4. DOxygen gas is passed over finely divided nickel.

Correct answer

B. Chalk is dipped in ink.

Step-by-step solution

Sorption describes the uptake of one substance by another, encompassing both adsorption and absorption. Adsorption involves accumulation on a surface, while absorption involves uniform distribution throughout a bulk material. In the given examples: charcoal with methylene blue shows adsorption of dye molecules on the surface; chalk dipped in ink shows absorption as ink penetrates the bulk; hydrogen over platinum and oxygen over finely divided nickel both demonstrate adsorption of gases onto metal surfaces.
