Two statements are given below.
Statement-$I$: Adsorption of a gas on the surface of charcoal is primarily an exothermic reaction.
Statement-$II$: $A$ closed vessel contains $O_2, H_2, Cl_2, NH_3$ gases. Its pressure is $P \ atm$. About $1 \ g$ of charcoal is added to this vessel and after some time its pressure was found to be less than $P \ atm$.
The correct answer is:

The correct statement$(s)$ pertaining to the adsorption of a gas on a solid surface is (are):
$(A)$ Adsorption is always exothermic.
$(B)$ Physisorption may transform into chemisorption at high temperature.
$(C)$ Physisorption increases with increasing temperature but chemisorption decreases with increasing temperature.
$(D)$ Chemisorption is more exothermic than physisorption,however it is very slow due to higher energy of activation.

The plot of $\log \frac{x}{m}$ ($y$-axis) and $\log p$ ($x$-axis) is a straight line inclined at an angle of $45^{\circ}$. When the intercept is $\log K = 0.3010$ (where $K = 2$) and pressure is $0.3 \ atm$,calculate the amount of solute in grams adsorbed per gram of adsorbent $\frac{x}{m}$ (given $\log 3 = 0.4771$ and $\log 0.3 = -0.5229$)?
