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

1. ∆ S is negative and therefore,  ∆ H should be highly positive
2. ∆ S is negative and therefore,  ∆ H should be highly negative
3. ∆ S is positive and therefore,  ∆ H should be negative
4. -∆ S is positive and therefore,  ∆ H should also be highly positive

The Langmuir adsorption isotherm is deduced using the assumption:

1. The adsorption takes place in multilayers
2. The adsorption sites are equivalent in their ability
to adsorb the particles
3. The heat of adsorption varies with coverage
4. The adsorbed molecules interact with each other
