In physisorption, adsorbent does not show specificity for any particular gas because ______________.

(i) involved van der Waals forces are universal.

(ii) gases involved behave like ideal gases.

(iii) enthalpy of adsorption is low.

(iv) it is a reversible process.

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (i).

Physisorption is a byproduct of Van der Waal’s forces between adsorbate and adsorbent, which are universal and hence, physisorption is independent of the gas chosen.
