    Which one of the following characteristics is not correct for physical adsorption?     AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2003

    A) Adsorption on solids is reversible

    B) Adsorption increases with increase in temperature

    C) Adsorption is spontaneous

    D) Both enthalpy and entropy of adsorption are negative

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As temperature increases desorption increases. Adsorbent + Adsorbate \[\] Adsorbed state \[+\,\Delta E\] Adsorption is exothermic process (forward direction), desorption is endothermic proems (backward direction).              According to Le-Chatelier's principle increase in temperature favours endothermic process.
