AI Thread Summary
Gases with higher critical temperatures tend to be adsorbed more extensively on the surfaces of adsorbents due to their greater molecular interactions and stability in the adsorbed state. Higher critical temperature indicates that the gas molecules have stronger intermolecular forces, allowing them to adhere more effectively to the surface of the adsorbent. This phenomenon is linked to the physical properties of the gases, such as their polarizability and the potential for van der Waals forces, which enhance adsorption capacity. Understanding these principles is crucial for optimizing gas adsorption processes in various applications. For further insights into gas adsorption, additional resources are available on specialized websites.

Why is it that gas with higher critical temperature are adsorbed to greater extent on surface of adsorbent as compared to gas with lower critical temperature?

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
