The factors that influence the adsorption of a gas on a solid is/are:

1. Nature of the gas.

2. Surface area of the solid.

3. Effect of pressure.

4. All of the above.

Adsorbent can be activated by:

Why is a finely divided substance more effective as an adsorbent?

1. Small surface area.

2. Large surface area.

3. Weak molecular bonding.

4. Strong molecular bonding.

The probable reasons of the exothermic nature of adsorption is:

The characteristics associated with adsorption are:

1. ∆G, ∆H, and ∆S are all negative.
2. ∆G and ∆H are negative, but ∆S is positive.
3. ∆G and ∆S are negative, but ∆H is positive.
4. ∆G is negative, but ∆H and ∆S are positive.

On increasing the temperature:

1. The extent of adsorption increases in physisorption.

2. The extent of adsorption decreases in physisorption.

3. No effect on adsorption.

4. The extent of adsorption first decreases, then increases.
