The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that during adsorption, the values of ΔG (Gibbs free energy change), ΔH (enthalpy change), and ΔS (entropy change) decrease, meaning they become negative. - **ΔH (Enthalpy Change)**: Adsorption is typically an exothermic process, which means it releases heat. Therefore, ΔH is negative during adsorption. - **ΔG (Gibbs Free Energy Change)**: For a process to be spontaneous, ΔG must be negative. Since adsorption is spontaneous, ΔG is also negative. - **ΔS (Entropy Change)**: During adsorption, a gas or solute molecules adhere to a surface, leading to a more ordered state. This results in a decrease in randomness or disorder, hence ΔS is negative. ### Conclusion for Step 1: Thus, the assertion that ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS decrease (become negative) during adsorption is correct. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that adsorption is a spontaneous process and that randomness or disorder decreases during adsorption. - **Spontaneity**: As mentioned, adsorption is indeed a spontaneous process, which is indicated by the negative ΔG. - **Randomness/Disorder**: When molecules adsorb onto a surface, they lose some freedom of movement, leading to a decrease in entropy (randomness). Therefore, the statement about randomness or disorder decreasing is also correct. ### Conclusion for Step 2: Both parts of the reason are correct: adsorption is spontaneous, and it leads to a decrease in randomness or disorder. ### Final Conclusion: Since both the assertion and the reason are correct, we can conclude that the assertion is true and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
