During the adsorption of krypton on activated charcoal at low temperature

  1. A \(\Delta H < 0\) and \(\Delta S < 0\)
  2. B \(\Delta H>0\) and \(\Delta S < 0\)
  3. C \(\Delta H>0\) and \(\Delta S>0\)
  4. D \(\Delta H < 0\) and \(\Delta S>0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\Delta H < 0\) and \(\Delta S < 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

During adsorption, heat is liberated hence \(\Delta H\) is negative (less than zero) and entropy decreases.
