Which of the following statements is correct for the spontaneous adsorption of a gas?( Option A ΔS is negative and, therefore, ΔH should be highly positive) (Option B ΔS is negative and therefore, ΔH should be highly negative) (Option C ΔS is positive and, therefore, ΔH should be negative) (Option D ΔS is positive and, therefore, ΔH should also be highly positive)

Correct Answer: (Option B ΔS is negative and therefore, ΔH should be highly negative) Explanation: During adsorption entropy decreases, so ΔS < 0 ΔG = ΔH – TΔS For spontaneous adsorption ΔG <...

Roasting of sulphides gives the gas X as a byproduct. This is colourless gas with choking smell of brunt Sulphur and causes great damage to respiratory organs as a result of acid rain. Its aqueous solution is acidic, acts as reducing agent and its acid has never been isolated. The gas X is:-

Option A SO3 Option B H2S Option C SO2 Option D CO2 Solution: Correct Option C We know that during the roasting of sulphide ore SO2 gas is obtained, reaction occurs as follows: 2M2S + 3O2 → 2M2O +...
