Adsorption of a gas on the surface of solid is generally accompanied by decrease entropy. Still it is a spontaneous process. Explain.

Answer» Adsorption is accompanied by decrease in enthalpy as well as decrease in entropy of the system.
For a process to be spontaneous there is a decrease in Gibbs Energy.
`to` On the basis of equation `DeltaG= DeltaH-T DeltaS, DeltaG = -Ve`
If `DeltaH` has sufficiently high negative value and `TDeltaS `is positive.
`to` In an adsorption process which is spontaneous `DeltaH` becomes negative by combining about .
`to` As the adsorption proceeds ` DeltaH` becomes less and less negative ultimately, `DeltaH` becomes equal to `TDeltaS` and `DeltaG` becomes zero. At this state equilibrium is attained.

Brownian movement can be seen easily in case ofA. true solutionB. colloidal solutionC. suspensionD. all of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Brownian movement is too fast to be seen in true solution on account of small size of solute particles and is too slow to be seen in a suspension on account of larger size of suspended particles.
Brownian movement provides a direct demonstration of ceaseless motion of molecules as postulated by kinetic theory. It also counters the force of gravitey acting on colloidal particles and hence helps in providing stabIlity to colloidal sols by not allowing them to settle down.
