Which of the following is an undesirable characteristic for the solvent used in gas absorption ?
Correct answer: D. None of these
- A. Low vapor pressure
- B. Low viscosity
- C. High gas solubility
- D. None of these
Explanation
A good absorption solvent should have low vapour pressure and viscosity and high solubility for the absorbed gas. Since all three listed properties are desirable, none is an undesirable characteristic.
