The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the conditions for the adsorption phenomenon, we will analyze the thermodynamic parameters involved in the process. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Adsorption Process Adsorption is the process where molecules from a gas or liquid adhere to a solid surface. This process can be either physical (physisorption) or chemical (chemisorption). ### Step 2: Analyze the Change in Entropy (ΔS) During adsorption, the molecules that are adsorbed lose some degree of freedom and randomness. This leads to a decrease in entropy (ΔS). Therefore, we can conclude: - **ΔS < 0** (Entropy decreases) ### Step 3: Analyze the Change in Enthalpy (ΔH) Adsorption is generally an exothermic process, meaning it releases heat. For a process to be spontaneous, the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) must be negative. The relationship between ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS is given by the equation: \[ ΔG = ΔH - TΔS \] For the process to be spontaneous: - **ΔG < 0** ### Step 4: Apply the Gibbs Free Energy Equation Since we know that ΔS is negative (ΔS < 0), the term -TΔS will be positive. To ensure that ΔG remains negative, ΔH must also be negative: - **ΔH < 0** (Enthalpy decreases) ### Step 5: Conclusion For the adsorption phenomenon to occur spontaneously, both conditions must be satisfied: 1. **ΔS < 0** (Entropy decreases) 2. **ΔH < 0** (Enthalpy decreases) Thus, the correct conditions for adsorption are: - **ΔS < 0 and ΔH < 0**.
