The incorrect statement is option (n)
Physisorption is an exothermic process. Hence increases in temperature decreases the Physisorption

2Cu + \(\frac{1}{2}\)O₂   → Cu₂O
It is an intermediate.
Cu₂O + H₂  → H₂O + 2Cu

2KClO₃ + 6MnO₂   →  6MnO₃ + 2KCl
It is an intermediate
6MnO₃ → 6MnO₂ + 3O₂

Addition of electrolytes:
A negative ion causes the precipitation of positively charged sol and vice versa. When the valency of ion is high, the precipitation power is increased.
For example, the precipitation power of some cations and anions varies in the following order
\(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}>\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+} \text {, Similarly }\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{CN}_{6}\right)\right]^{3-}>\mathrm{SO}_{4}{ }^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)
The precipitation power of electrolyte is determined by finding the minimum concentration (millimoles/lit) required to cause precipitation of a sol in 2 hours. This value is called flocculation value. The smaller the flocculation value greater will be precipitation.

(i) Neutralisation of chargers of ion will taken place and hence precipitation will take place (ie) Fe³⁺ and S^2- ion changes are neutralized. No new compounds are formed.
(ii) Fe(OH)₃ is a positive Sol
(iii) As₂S₃ is a negative Sol

In Chemisorptions the molecules are held on the surface by attractive forces by formation of chemical bonds. As strong bond is formed nearly 400 kJ / mol is given out as heat of adsorption chemical bonds are much stronger, whereas the Vander Waal's forces in physisorption is weaker.

The critical temperature of NH₃ is 406 K and that of CO₂ is 304 K. So, NH₃ has higher critical temperature and greater VanderWaal's forces of attraction than CO₂. So NH₃ will be more adsorbed than CO₂.

(i) It is instantaneous.
(ii) It is non-specific.
(iii) No transfer of electrons.
(iv) Multilayer of adsorbate is formula.

1. Langmuir explained the action of catalyst in heterogeneous catalysed reactions based on adsorption. The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the catalyst surfaces, so this can also be called as contact catalysis.
2. According to this theory, various steps involved in a heterogeneous catalyse reaction are given as follows:
(i) Reactant molecules diffuse from bulk to the catalyst surface.
(ii) The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst.
(iii) The adsorbed reactant molecules are activated and form activated complex which is decomposed to form the products.
(iv) The product molecules are desorbed.
(v) The product diffuse away from the surface of the catalyst.

The intermediate compound formation theory :
A catalyst acts by providing a new path with low energy of activation. In homogeneous catalysed reactions a catalyst may combine with one or more reactant to form an intermediate which reacts with other reactant or decompose to give products and the catalyst is regenerated.
Consider the reactions :
A+B➝AB; C is the catalyst .............(1)
A + C ➝ AC (intermediate) ..........(2)
AC + B ⟶ AB + C ...............(3)
Example 1:
The mechanism of Fridel crafts reaction is given below
\({ C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 6 }+{ { CH }_{ 3 }Cl\overset { anhydrous\\ { AlCl }_{ 3 } }{ \longrightarrow } }{ C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }{ CH }_{ 3 }+HCl\) 
The action of catalyst is explained as follows
CH₃Cl + AlCl₃ ⟶ [CH₃]⁺ [AlCl₄]^-
It is an intermediate.
\({ C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 6 }+\left[ { CH }_{ 3 }^{ + } \right] \left[ { AlCl }_{ 4 } \right] ^{ - }\longrightarrow { C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }{ CH }_{ 3 }+{ AlCl }_{ 3 }+Hcl\) 
Example 2:
\({ { 2KClO }_{ 3 }\overset {\\ { MnO }_{ 3 } }{ \longrightarrow } }{ 2KCl }+{ 3O }_{ 2 }\)
Thermal decomposition of KCIO₃ in the presence of MnO₂ proceeds as follows. Steps in the reaction
2KCIO₃ ⟶ 2KCI + 3O₂ Can be given as
2KClO₃ + 6MnO₂   →  6MnO₃ + 2KCl
It is an intermediate
6MnO₃ → 6MnO₂ + 3O₂
Example 3:
Formation of water due to the reaction of H₂ and O₂ in the presence of Cu can be given as
H₂ + 1/2O₂ → H₂O 
2Cu + \(\frac{1}{2}\)O₂   → Cu₂O
It is an intermediate.
Cu₂O + H₂  → H₂O + 2Cu
Advantages:
This theory describes
(a) The specificity of a catalyst and
(b) The increase in the rate of the reaction with increasc inthe concentration of a catalyst
Limitations:
(a) The intermediate compound theory fails to explain the action of catalytic poison and activators (promoters).
(b) This theory is unable to explain the mechanism of heterogeneous catalysed reactions.

(i) Zeolites are microporous, crystalline, hydrated, alumino silicates, made of silicon and aluminium tetrahedra.
(ii) There are about 50 natural zeolites and 150 synthetic zeolites.
(iii) As silicon is tetravalent and aluminium is trivalent, the zeolite matrix carries extra negative charge.
(iv) To balance the negative charge, there are extra framework cations for example H⁺or Na⁺ons. Zeolites carrying protons are used as solid acids, catalysis and they are extensively used in the petrochemical industry for cracking heavy hydrocarbon fractions into gasoline, diesel, etc.,
(v) Zeolites carrying Na⁺ ions are used as basic catalysis.
(vi) One of the most important applications of zeolites is their shape selectivity.
(vii) In zeolites, the active sites namely protons are lying inside their pores. So, reactions occur only inside the pores of zeolites.
Reactant selectivity:
When bulkier molecules in a reactant mixture are prevented from reaching the active sites within the zeolite crystal, this selectivity is called reactant shape selectivity.
Transition state selectivity:
If the transition state of a reaction is large compared to the pore size of the zeolite, then no product will be formed.
Product selectivity:
It is encountered when certain product molecules one too big to diffuse out of the zeolite pores.

(i) Enzymes are complex protein molecules with three dimensional structures. They catalyse the chemical reaction in living organism. They are often present in colloidal state and extremely specific in catalytic action. Each enzyme produced in a particular living cell can catalyse a particular reaction in the cell.
Some common examples for enzyme catalysis:
(ii) The peptide glycyl L-glutamyl L-tyrosin is hydrolysed by an enzyme called pepsin.
(iii) The enzyme diastase hydrolyses starch into maltose
\(2\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_{5}\right)_{\mathrm{n}}+\mathrm{nH}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{nC}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11}\)
(iv) The yeast contains the enzyme zymase which converts glucose into ethanol.
\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}+2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
(v) The enzyme micoderma aceti oxidises alcohol into acetic acid.
\(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
(vi) The enzyme urease present in soya beens hydrolyses the urea.
\(\mathrm{NH}_{2}-\mathrm{CO}-\mathrm{NH}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
Mechanism of enzyme catalysed reaction
(vii) The following mechanism is proposed for the enzyme catalysis
\(​​​​​​​\mathrm{E}+\mathrm{S} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{ES} \rightarrow \mathrm{P}+\mathrm{E}\).
(viii) Where E is the enzyme, S the substrate (reactant), ES represents activated complex and P the products.

 

(i) Purification of drinking water is activated by coagulation of suspended impurities in water by using alums containing \(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\left(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \mathrm{Al}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3} \cdot 24 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)\) Alum has a negative charge and tends to disperse in water very fast.
(ii) The increased size as well as the lack of repelling charges cause the alum particles to settle down at the bottom or rise up and float in water. After the particles are neutralized, they clump together because of the London dispersive force which are part of vander Waal's forces. The weak inter molecular force arising from quantum induced instantaneous polarisation multi poles in molecules causes even non polar particles to attract each other due to the corelated movements of the electrons in interacting molecules. Then they settle down.

(i) In lyophillic colloids or sols definite attractive force or affinity exists between dispersion medium and dispersed phase. Examples: sols of protein and starch. They are more stable and will not get precipitated easily. 
(ii) In a lyophobic colloids, no attractive force exists between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium. They are less stable and precipitated readily, but cannot be produced again by just adding the dispersion medium. 
Examples: sols of gold, silver, platinum and copper.
