Q40 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2014 · Chemistry

Assertion (A) van der Waals' forces are reponsible for chemisorptions.Reason (R) High temperature is favourable for chemisorptions. The correct answer is

  • Correct answer
    A
    (A) is false, but (R) is true
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of (A)
  • D
    (A) is true, but (R) is false

Solution

van der Waals' forces are not responsible for chemisorptions. These forces are involved in physisorption. For chemisorptions, high temperature is favourable. It increases with increase of temperature.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
