With the lowering of equilibrium pressure, at a given temperature, the amount of adsorbate on the adsorbent______________________?
Correct answer: B. Decreases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remain same
- D. Either A. or B., depends on the system
Explanation
At a fixed temperature, adsorption generally increases with equilibrium pressure because more adsorbate molecules are available at the surface. Lowering the pressure therefore reduces the equilibrium amount adsorbed.
