The adsorption of a gas at the boiling point of the gas follows the isotherm shown in the figure. Identify the correct thermodynamic properties at point \(C\).

  1. A \(\Delta H=T \Delta S, \Delta G=0\)
  2. B \(\Delta H>T \Delta S, \Delta G=+\) ve
  3. C \(\Delta H < T \Delta S, \Delta G=-v e\)
  4. D \(\Delta H=T \Delta S=\Delta G=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\Delta H=T \Delta S, \Delta G=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Amount of gas adsorbed remains constant at point \(C\) irrespective of increase in pressure. So, the system is in equilibrium \[ \therefore \quad \Delta G=0 \] As we know, \[ \Delta G=\Delta H-T \Delta S \] \[ \therefore \quad \Delta H=T \Delta S . \]
