Which one of the following is correct for the adsorption of a gas at a given temperature on a solid surface?
Solution
(i) Adsorption of gas at metal surface is an exothermic process of $\Delta$H < 0<br><br>(ii) As the adsorption of gas on metal surface reduces the free movement of gas molecules thus restricting its randomness hence $\Delta$S < 0
