Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements about adsorption is NOT TRUE?

  • Adsorption leads to a lower concentration of molecules on the surface. (correct)
  • Adsorption is rapid in the beginning and slows down near equilibrium.
  • Adsorption is a surface phenomenon.
  • Adsorption results in a higher concentration of molecules on the surface.

    • What is the primary cause of adsorption?

  • van der Waals forces between molecules and surface.
  • Unbalanced forces of attraction or free valencies on the surface. (correct)
  • Hydrogen bonding between molecules and surface.
  • Electrostatic forces between molecules and surface.

    • What is the characteristic of the concentration of adsorbed molecules during adsorption?

  • It is uniform throughout the surface.
  • It reaches a plateau at equilibrium.
  • It decreases with time.
  • It is always greater at the surface than in the bulk. (correct)

    • What is the term for the branch of physical chemistry that deals with the nature of surfaces and chemical and physical processes on surfaces?
