  2. B Entropy change is negative
  3. C Both enthalpy and entropy simultaneously decreases
  4. D Free energy change is negative
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Enthalpy change is positive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, Adsorption is reversible in nature and is dependent on pressure as well as temperature. An increase in pressure decreases the volume of gas and thus increases the adsorption of gas molecules. Conversely, a decrease in pressure will cause the removal of…
