Question

Whenever a mixture of gases is allowed to come in contact with a particular adsorbent under the same conditions, the more strong adsorbate is adsorbed to a greater extent irrespective of its amount present. For example, H2O is adsorbed to more extent on silica gel than N2 and O2. This shows that some adsorbates are preferentially adsorbed. It is also observed that preferentially adsorbable adsorbents can displace a weakly adsorbed substance from the surface of an adsorbent.

Solution

The correct option is B extent of adsorption decreases
As gases are adsorbed by weak forces so as we increases temperature, forces become weak and extent of adsorption decreases.
