Which one of the following characteristics is associated with adsorption?
is negative, but and are positive.
and all are negative.
and are negative, but is positive.
and are negative, but is positive.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the thermodynamics of adsorption.Adsorption is an exothermic process, meaning it releases heat. This implies that is negative.Let's analyze each option:Option 1: is negative, but and are positive.• For adsorption, should be negative, not positive. So, this option is incorrect.Option 2: and all are negative.• is negative because adsorption is a spontaneous process.• is negative because adsorption is exothermic.• is negative because the randomness decreases when molecules adhere to a surface.• This option correctly describes adsorption.Option 3: and are negative, but is positive.• should be negative, not positive, as the system becomes more ordered.• This option is incorrect.Option 4: and are negative, but is positive.• should be negative, not positive, as adsorption is exothermic.• This option is incorrect.Therefore, the correct option is Option 2, where and all are negative.
