MCQ
The following statements relate to the adsorption of gases on a solid surfuce. Identify the incorrect statement among them
  • A
    Enthalpy of adsorption is negative
  • B
    Energy appears as heat
  • On adsorption, the residual forces on the surface are increased
  • D
    Entropy of adsorption is negative

Answer

Correct option: C.
On adsorption, the residual forces on the surface are increased
c
Adsorption is a phenomena of attracting and retaining the molecules of a substance on the surface of a liquid or a solid resulting into a higher concentration of the molecules on the surface.

After adsorption there is a decrease in the residual forces due to bond formation $\Delta G$, $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ all are negative in the case of adsorption.
