Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain the effect of temperature on the extent of physical and chemical adsorption, we can break down the concepts into clear steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Physical Adsorption - Physical adsorption, or physisorption, is a type of adsorption that occurs due to weak van der Waals forces between the adsorbate and the adsorbent. - It is generally characterized by low heat of adsorption (typically less than 20 kJ/mol) and is reversible. ### Step 2: Effect of Temperature on Physical Adsorption - As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also increases. ...
