Which of the following is true for spontaneous adsorption of \(\mathrm{H}_2\) gas without dissociation on solid surface

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Process is exothermic and \(\Delta S < 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Adsorption of \(\mathrm{H}_2\) gas on solid surface is exothermic and entropy decreases in the process. \[ \therefore \Delta S < 0 \]
