Which of the following is not a characteristic of chemisorption?

  1. A \(\Delta H\) is of the order of \(400 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  2. B Adsorption is irreversible
  3. C Adsorption may be multimolecular layer
  4. D Adsorption is specific
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Adsorption may be multimolecular layer

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chemisorption is highly specific and will not form if there is no possibility of chemical bonding between adsorbent and adsorbate. \(\therefore\) Chemisorption doesn't form multimolecular layer and hence, option (c) is incorrect.
