- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
Adsorption is a surface phenomenon and it differs from absorption which occurs throughout the body of the substance that absorbs. In physiosorption the attractive forces are mainly van der Waal's forces while in chemisorption ionic/covalent bonds are formed between particles of adsorbent and adsorbate. The catalytic activity of finely divided iron in Haber's process of ammonia manufacture can be explained by adsorption theory. Adsorption being an exothermic process, the heat of adsorption is utilised in enhancing the rate of the reaction. Adsorption has many applications being used in gas masks, control of humidity, chromatograph separation, curing diseases etc.
Which of the following is not correct regarding the adsorption of a gas on the surface of solid ?
(A) On increasing temperature, adsorption increases continuously.
(B) Enthalphy and entropy changes are negative.
(C) Chemical adsorption is more specific than physical adsorption.
(D) High temperature favours physical adsorption.

Carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids play an important role in the biochemical process of plants and animal kingdon. Many aldehydes and ketones find applications in dye, perfumery and other industries.
The carbonyl carbon atom is \(s p^2\)-hybridized forming three sigma and one pi-bond with oxygen.
C-O bonds are polar bond due to high electronegativity of oxygen than carbon.
Hence the carbonyl carbon behaves as an electrophilic center and oxygen as a nucleophilic centre.
Primary and secondary alcohols yield aldehydes and ketones respectively upon oxidation with variety of oxidixing agents.
The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones differ from hydrocarbons and ethers.
Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction due to presence of electrophilic carbonyl carbon.
Nucleophile and a proton add across the carbon oxygen double bond.

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups, so the letter "e" was dropped and ther term vitamin is used these days.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat. Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues. Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. They must be supplied regularly in the diet as they are readily excreated in urine.
Which Vitamin is known as Pyridoxine?CUET 2025 Medium - Benzene ring in phenol is expected to give the characteristic substitution or replacement reactions i.e. halogenation, nitration, sulphonation, alkylation etc. In these reactions, the attacking reagent is electrophile. The phenolic group activates the ortho and para positions in the ring due to conjugation. Disubstitution reactions are quite fast as the electron density in the ring has increased considerably. Phenols do not respond to nucleophilic substitution reactions as it is influenced by phenolic group.
