JEE Main2018ChemistrySurface ChemistryActual
Which one of the following is not a property of physical adsorption?
Options
- AHigher the pressure, more the adsorption
- BGreater the surface area, more the adsorption
- CLower the temperature, more the adsorption
- DUnilayer adsorption occurs
Correct answer
D. Unilayer adsorption occurs
Step-by-step solution
Physical adsorption increases with an increase in pressure. It also increases with the surface area. As adsorption is exothermic process so as temperature decreases, adsorption increases. It is a multilayer adsorption.
