Why are powdered substances more effective adsorbents than their crystalline forms?
Adsorption is a surface phenomenon.The extent of adsorption depends on the surface area. Therefore, adsorption is directly proportional to the surface area.Increase in the surface area of the adsorbent, increases the total amount of gas adsorbed. A finely divided substance like nickel, platinum & porous substances like charcoal, silica gel provides large surface area but crystalline substances has less surface as compared to finely divided substances, as a result powered substances are more effective adsorbents than their crystalline forms.
In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction (r0) was measured for different initial concentrations of A and B as given below:
A/ mol L - 1 |
0.20 | 0.20 | 0.40 |
B/ mol L - 1 |
0.30 | 0.10 | 0.05 |
r0/ mol L - 1 s - 1 |
5.07 × 10 - 5 |
5.07 × 10 - 5 |
1.43 × 10 - 4 |
What is the order of the reaction with respect to A and B?
