Q. Adsorption is accompanied by the evolution of heat. So, according to Le-Chatelier principle the amount of substance adsorbed should
A) Increase with decrease in temperature
B) Increase with increase in temperature
C) Decrease with decrease in temperature
D) Decrease with increase in temperature
Explanation
(a)
