Which of the following statements is correct for the spontaneous adsorption of a gas?

  • A
    $\Delta S$ is negative and,therefore $\Delta H$ should be highly positive.
  • B
    $\Delta S$ is negative and therefore,$\Delta H$ should be highly negative.
  • C
    $\Delta S$ is positive and therefore,$\Delta H$ should be negative.
  • D
    $\Delta S$ is positive and therefore,$\Delta H$ should also be highly positive.
