Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Increase in temperature favours adsorption.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Adsorption is a surface phenomena that involves equillibrium between two opposing processes adsorption and desorption. \(\text { Gas }+ \text { Solid } \rightleftharpoons \text { Gas adsorbed on solid + Heat }\) As adsorption is exothermic thus according to Le-Chatelier's…
