Why dows physisoption decrease with increase of temperature ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In physisorption, the attractive forces between adsorbent and adsorbate molecules are weak van der Waals forces. When temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules of the gas increases and they can easily leave the surface of adsorbent because of weak forces of attraction.
