    Nitrogen gas is physically adsorbed on iron at \[{{190}^{o}}C\] but chemisorbed to form a nitride at

    A)                  \[{{250}^{o}}C\]              

    B)                  \[{{300}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{500}^{o}}C\]                              

    D)  \[{{190}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Nature of adsorption of nitrogen on the surface of iron depands upon the temperature. At \[{{190}^{o}}C\], nitrogen is physically adsorbed on the iron  surface  as \[{{N}_{2}}\] molecules. When temperature is further adsorbed up to \[{{500}^{o}}C\]and above, then nitrogen is chemically adsorbed on the iron surface as nitride.
