Question:

Which one of the following is not a property of physical adsorption?

Lower the temperature, more the adsorption

Greater the surface area, more the adsorption

Higher the pressure, more the adsorption

Unilayer adsorption occurs

Solution:

The physical adsorption is temperature and pressure dependent. It increases with increase in pressure and decreases with increase in temperature. Also, when there is more surface area then physical adsorption will be more. Physical adsorption forms multiple layer of adsorption. Thus, statement given in option D is incorrect.
