Which of the following is not true?
Options
- AEnthalpy change in negative for adsorption of a gas on solid.
- BIncrease in temperature favours adsorption.
- CAdsorption is a surface phenomena.
- DEntropy change is negative.
Correct answer
B. Increase in temperature favours adsorption.
Step-by-step solution
Adsorption is a surface phenomena that involves equillibrium between two opposing processes adsorption and desorption. Gas + Solid Gas adsorbed on solid + Heat As adsorption is exothermic thus according to Le-Chatelier's principle it will decrease with increase in temperature.
