Statement I: D2 is more rapidly adsorbed on the surface than H2.
Statement II : Vander Waal’s forces of attraction are more in D2 than in H2
As the molecular weigth ↑es,
Surface area ↑es,
and hence vander waal's force of attractions ↑es
• The adsorption phenomina (physical) depends upon the vander waal's force of attraction and surface area .
• Therefore D2 is more rapidly adsored on surface than H2, As surface area of D2 grater than that of H2, & hence vander waal's force of attractions are more in D2 than in H2 with catalyst
Statement I and Statement II are true.
