Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Match List I with List II

LIST I LIST II
A. Physisorption I. Single Layer Adsorption
B. Chemisorption II. $20-40 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
C. $\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \stackrel{\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s})}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(\mathrm{~g})$ III. Chromatography
D. Analytical Application or Adsorption IV. Heterogeneous catalysis

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II
  2. B A - II, B - III, C - I, D - IV
  3. C A - II, B - I, C - IV, D - III Correct answer
  4. D A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I

Solution

(A) Physisorption = 20 – 40 kJ/mol and Chemisorption = 80 – 240 kJ/mol <br/><br/>(B) Physisorption is multi-layered and chemisorption is unimolecular layered. <br/><br/>(C) In heterogeneous catalysis, medium and catalyst are in different phases. <br/><br/>(D) Chromatography uses adsorption to purify/separate mixtures.
