  2. B The process is reversible in nature
  3. C The process is not specific in nature
  4. D Enthalpy of adsorption is in the range of 80-240 kJ \(\mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Enthalpy of adsorption is in the range of 80-240 kJ \(\mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chemisorption: (i) It is highly specific in nature. (ii) It is irreversible (iii) It result into unimolecular layer. (iv) Enthalpy of adsorption is high ( \(80-240 \mathrm{~K}\) ) (v) It is caused by chemical bond formation.
