What is the difference between adsorbent and adsorbate?

adsorbent is a substance that is usually porous in nature with high surface area that can adsorb substances onto its surface with the help of intermolecular forces while the adsorbate is a substance that is adsorb on a surface of another substance.


How do you calculate molecular weight of a compound from its langmuir isotherm?

The monolayer capacity of the adsorbent is equal to number of moles of adsorption sites present on one gram of sample. The Langmuir and BET isotherms may be used to find th monolayer capacity of the adsorbent. Thus on taking the reciprocal of the monolayer capacity, one can find the molecular weight of the adsorbent.

Factors influencing on sorption?

The following factors influences the sorption- 1- temperature of both gas and adsorbent. 2- the chemical nature of gas and adsorbent. 3- the microscopic roughness of the surfaceof adsorbent. 4- the incident flux of molecules. 5-surface to volume ratio of the adsorbent.


What is the maximum capacity of any adsorbent per gram?

The maximum capacity of any adsorbent per gram varies widely depending on the type of adsorbent and the nature of the adsorbate. For example, activated carbon can have a maximum adsorption capacity ranging from about 100 to 300 mg of organic compounds per gram, while specialized materials like zeolites or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) may exceed this, reaching capacities of several grams per gram in specific applications. Ultimately, the specific conditions and the chemical properties of both the adsorbent and adsorbate play crucial roles in determining the maximum capacity.

Is the adsorption capacity depend upon porosity of adsorbent?

Yes, the adsorption capacity of an adsorbent is influenced by its porosity. A higher porosity provides more surface area for adsorption to occur, resulting in a greater adsorption capacity. Therefore, materials with higher porosity generally exhibit higher adsorption capabilities.
