The plots of the extent of adsorption (x/m) Vs pressure at different temperature are as follows; The correct order of increasing temp for curves I, II, III, IV are ;
Options
- AT 1 > T 2 > T 3 > T 4
- BT 4 > T 3 > T 2 > T 1
- CT 3 > T 2 > T 1 > T 4
- Dcan't be predicted
Correct answer
B. T 4 > T 3 > T 2 > T 1
Step-by-step solution
Physisorption is exothermic in nature. Therefore, in accordance with Le-Chatliers principle, it decreases with increase in temperature. This means physisorption occurs at low temperature more readily. So, The correct order of temperature for curves I, II, III, IV are : T 4 > T 3 > T 2 > T 1
