Question

Hydrogen is absorbed by heated Palladium.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Absorption property of Palladium:

• At room temperature, Palladium can absorb hydrogen 900 times more than its own volume.
• It is well known to absorb a lot of hydrogen when heated and subsequently forms Palladium hydride, (${\mathrm{PdH}}_2$).
• Palladium has the ability to absorb large volumetric quantities of hydrogen even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
• Moreover, it is a reversible process.

Hence, the given statement is True.
