A

The adsorption requires activation at `25^(@)C`

B

The adsorption is accomanied by a decrease in enthalpy

C

The adsorption increases with increases of temperature

D

The adsorption is irreversible

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Adsorption of methylene blue on activated charcoal is physical adsorption hence it is characterized by decreases in enthalpy.
Hence (b) is correct.

H_(2) can displace the metal from its aqueous solution.

p-Amino-N,N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of X. The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of Y to yield blue colouration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of aqueous solution of Y with reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves on excess addition of the reagent. Similarly, the treatment of the solution of Y with the solution of potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) leads to a brown colouration due to the formation of Z. Q. Compound X is
