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 want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
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!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
