Which one of the following characteristics is associated with adsorption?

  • ΔG, ΔH and  ΔS all are negative

  • ΔG and  ΔH are negative but  ΔS is positive

  • ΔG and  ΔS are negative but  ΔH is positive

  • ΔG and  ΔS are negative but  ΔH is positive


A.

ΔG, ΔH and  ΔS all are negative

Adsorption is a spontaneous process that occurs with the release of energy and decrease in the entropy of the substance. For a spontaneous process,  ΔG must be  negative,

 ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS

As the process is exothermic and randomness of the molecule (entropy) decreases hence both  ΔH and  ΔS will be negative as well.

The addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction alters which of the following quantities ?

  • Internal energy

  • Enthalpy

  • Activation energy

  • Activation energy


C.

Activation energy

A catalyst is a substance which alters the reaction but itself remains unchanged in the chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction, it provides a new reaction path by the lowering the activation energy barrier.

Consider the following liquid-vapour equilibrium
Liquid space rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoon space Vapour
Which of the following relations is correct?

  • dlnP over dT equals fraction numerator negative increment H subscript v over denominator R T end fraction
  • dlnP over dT squared space equals space fraction numerator negative increment straight H subscript straight v over denominator straight T squared end fraction
  • dlnP over dT space equals space fraction numerator negative increment straight H subscript straight v over denominator RT squared end fraction
  • dlnP over dT space equals space fraction numerator negative increment straight H subscript straight v over denominator RT squared end fraction

C.

dlnP over dT space equals space fraction numerator negative increment straight H subscript straight v over denominator RT squared end fraction

The given phase equilibria is 


This equilibrium states that, when liquid is heated, it converts into vapour but on cooling, it further converts into liquid, which is derived by Clausius clapeyron and the relationship is written as,
