Give reason why a finely divided substance is more effective as an adsorbent.

Answer»

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon. Therefore, adsorption is directly proportional to the surface area. A finely divided substance has a large surface area. Both physisorption and
chemisorption increase with an increase in the surface area. Hence, a finely divided
substance behaves as a good adsorbent.
