Which of the following is not a characteristic of chemisorption?
- A \(\Delta H\) is of the order of \(400 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
- B Adsorption is irreversible
- C Adsorption may be multimolecular layer
- D Adsorption is specific
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.
