Detailed Solution

Gas molecules loose their freedom and get attached on the surface of the adsorbent during adsorption. Therefore, entropy decreases.

During adsorption a lot of gas molecules are attracted by the surface of the adsorbent. Thus, energy is released and so enthalpy of the the system decreases.

Since entropy decreases, S = negative and so TS will also be negative.
