I, II and III are three adsorption isotherms at three temperatures T1, T2 and T3, where x is the amount of adsorbate adsorbed per mg of the adsorbent. The temperatures T1, T2 and T3 are in the order
A
T1<T2<T3

Solution
The correct option is AT1<T2<T3 Adsorption is an exothermic process. As temperature increases, the extent of adsorption decreases. Extent of adsorption (xm) is minimum at T3 and is maximum at T1.
