Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Increase in temperature favours adsorption.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Adsorption is a spontaneous process where gas molecules accumulate on the surface of a solid. Since it is a spontaneous process, the Gibbs free energy change \(\Delta G\) must be negative. The relationship is given by \(\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S\). Adsorption involves the…
