What is the sign of delta H and deltaS whenbromine gas gets adsorbed on charcoal?

Adsorption of gases on charcoal surface gives more orderly arrangement that means randomness decreases. So delta S is negative. As adsorption of gases is spontaneous reaction delta G is negative
That means
G =H -TSS = negative and TS = PositiveG = negative for spontaneous reactionSoH = negative, that means the reaction is an exothermic reaction.
