The correct statement regarding chemisorption is
Options
- AIt is a multilayered adsorption
- BThe process is reversible in nature
- CThe process is not specific in nature
- DEnthalpy of adsorption is in the range of 80-240 kJ mol ⁻¹
Correct answer
D. Enthalpy of adsorption is in the range of 80-240 kJ mol ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Chemisorption: (i) It is highly specific in nature. (ii) It is irreversible (iii) It result into unimolecular layer. (iv) Enthalpy of adsorption is high ( 80-240 ~K ) (v) It is caused by chemical bond formation.
