Which of the following is a correct statement regarding the extent of adsorption?

Option: 1

It increases with the increase of surface area per unit mass of the adsorbent at a given temperature and pressure.


Option: 2

It decreases with the increase of surface area per unit mass of the adsorbent at a given temperature and pressure.


Option: 3

It does not depend on surface area per unit mass of the adsorbent at a given temperature and pressure.


Option: 4

It depends upon the surface area per unit mass of the adsorbent at a particular temperature and pressure only


Answers (1)

The extent of adsorption is dependant on the surface area available per unit mass or the specific area of the adsorbent at any temperature and pressure. Larger is the surface area of the adsorbent more is adsorption.

Hence, the correct answer is Option (1)
