Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary factor affecting the rate of adsorption of a gas on a solid surface?
  • Step 1: Understand what adsorption means. Adsorption is when gas molecules stick to a solid surface.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the solid surface has a certain area where gas molecules can attach.
  • Step 3: Realize that if the solid has a larger surface area, there are more places for gas molecules to stick.
  • Step 4: Conclude that more surface area means more gas molecules can adhere, which increases the rate of adsorption.
