Absorption accompanied by heat evolution results in____________________?
Correct answer: B. Decrease in equilibrium solubility
- A. Increased capacity of the absorber
- B. Decrease in equilibrium solubility
- C. Increase in equilibrium solubility
- D. None of these
Explanation
Heat evolution raises the liquid temperature, and gases generally become less soluble as temperature increases. Thus, the equilibrium solubility of the absorbed component decreases.
