Question
Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding physissorptions?
A.
More easily liquefiable gases are adsorbed readily.
B.
Under high pressure it results into multi molecular layer on adsorbent surface.
C.
Enthalpy of adsorption $$\left( {\Delta {H_{adsorption}}} \right)$$ is low and positive.
D.
It occurs because of van der Waal’s forces.
Answer :
Enthalpy of adsorption $$\left( {\Delta {H_{adsorption}}} \right)$$ is low and positive.
Solution :
Adsorption is an exothermic process, hence $${\Delta H}$$ will always be negative
