    Which of the following statement is true?

    A)  Chemisorption forms multimolecular layer

    B)  Chemisorption is a reversible process

    C)  Chemisorption is independent of the pressure

    D)  Chemisorption has low enthalpy change

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Chemisorption   involves   formation   of monomolecular layer. It is irreversible in nature and involves high enthalpy of adsorption, \[ie,\]\[50-400\text{ }kJ/mol.\] It is favoured by high pressure but does not decrease with decrease in pressure. Thus, it can be said that chemisorption is independent of pressure.
