Sponetaneous adsorption of a gas on solid surface is an exothermic process becauseA. `DeltaH` increases for system.B. `DeltaS` increases for gas.C. `DeltaS` decreases for gas.D. `DeltaG` increases for gas. |
|
Answer» `DeltaG = DeltaH - T DeltaS` Entropy decreases during adsorption. Entropy factor is disfavouring, therefore the enthalpy factor must factor spontaneity, so it must be exothermic and `DeltaH` must be negative. |
