Q75 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

Which one of the following characteristics is associated with adsorption?

  • A
    ∆G is negative but ∆H and ∆S are positive
  • Correct answer
    B
    ∆G,∆H and ∆S all are negative
  • C
    ∆G and ∆H are negative but ∆S is positive
  • D
    ∆G and ∆S are negative but ∆H is positive

Solution

∆H<0 Adsorption process is exothermic

∆G<0 Adsorption process is Feasible

∆S<0 Adsorption process is accompanied of decrease in entropy.

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