The correct answer is:
(a) and (b)
(a) When gas is adsorbed on metal surface.
become less negative with progress of reaction because number of active sites decreases.
(b) Gas with greater value of critical temperature absorbed more. As So absorbed more than .
Statement (c) is wrong because residual forces decrease as adsorption proceeds further.
Statement (d) is also wrong because temperature opposes extent of adsorption.
