The change in enthalpy, when a unit quantity of gas is absorbed by relatively large quantity of adsorbent (on which a definite concentration of the adsorbed gas already exists) is termed as the_________________?

Correct answer: A. Differential heat of adsorption

  • A. Differential heat of adsorption
  • B. Heat of wetting
  • C. Integral heat of adsorption
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Differential heat of adsorption is the enthalpy change for adsorbing an infinitesimal amount of gas on an adsorbent that already has a specified loading. Integral heat refers to the average heat for forming a specified total loading from a clean adsorbent.
