Explain the following :A finely divided substance is more effective as adsorbent.

Answer»
  • Adsorption is a surface phenomenon and hence, the extent of adsorption depends upon the surface area of the adsorbent.
  • Adsorption increases with an increase in surface area of the adsorbent.
  • Finely divided powdered substances provide a larger surface area for a given mass. Hence, a finely divided substance is more effective as an adsorbent.
