Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Lowering the temperature favours physisorption processes.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) First statement is correct as chemisorption results in a unimolecular layer and physisorption result in a multimolecular layer. (B) Second statement is incorrect as enthalpy change during physisorption is of the range of 20-40kJmol-1.Gases with higher critical temperatures are readily adsorbed
