Does pressure effect on adsorption of oxygen?

Yes. Pressue effects both adsorption and absorption of oxygen. I assume you really did mean adsorption (and not absorption) but just in case, this answer addresses both - since the answer is similar. As pressure increases, the fugacity of oxygen in the liquid or vapor phase will also increase. In order to stay in equilibrium, you would expect the concentration of oxygen on a surface (adsorption) to increase as well. There is one caveat in that if the oxygen is in a mixture, the fugacity of the other components of the mixture will also be increasing and may be in competition with the oxygen for adsorption to the surface. Once the surface is saturated, raising the pressure may not have any effect on the adsorption. Likewise, dropping the pressure will decrease the fugacity of oxygen in the fluid phase and promote desorption from a surface (the reverse of adsorption). Similarly, increasing or decreasing pressure will increase and decrease the fugacity of oxygen in the vapor phase and require more or less oxygen to be absorbed into a liquid (or in some cases solids - although most solids don't dissolve gasses very well). Increaing pressure can also change the distribution of oxygen between two immiscible liquids as the fugacity of the oxygen in each depends on both pressure and the effect of pressure on the fugacity of the solvent liquids.


Does change in pressure affect the solubility of solids?

The solubility of solids and liquids show virtually no changes with pressure. However, solubility increases with pressure in the solubility of gases in liquids.


What is the classification of solutions?

- Solutions can be saturated or unsaturated. or - Solutions of solids in liquids, solids in solids, liquids in liquids (rarely used the expression gas in gas).

liquids and solids


What are the solutions of solids dissolved in solids called?

Alloys.


Are solutions all solids?

Not all solutes are solids.


Can solids cause pressure?

Yes solids can cause pressure


Can solids dissolve in other solids?

Yes, there are solid solutions. For obvious reasons, it happens extremely slowly.


Would it be easier to separate solutions of gases or solids?

i would say solids but it depends on how good youare with solids or gases. hope this helps :)


What is the formula to calculate pressure in solids?

pressure is calculated in solids by using these formulae which is proposed gopi force / area


What is an example of an experimental variable?

Variables are things like temperature, pressure, time allowed for the reaction to take place, the states of the reactants (liquids, gases or solids) and concentrations of solutions.
