Assertion(A): Langmuir adsorption is a single-layer phenomenon.
Reason(R): It is due to van der Waals forces.

A

If both assertion and reason are ture, and reason is the trure explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Correct R. The single layer formed may be due to van der Waals adsorption or chemisorption.
