To explain how the types of processes of adsorption (physisorption and chemisorption) are influenced by temperature, surface area of the adsorbent, and activation energy, we can break down the explanation into a structured format. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Physisorption and Chemisorption**: - **Physisorption**: This is a type of adsorption that occurs due to weak van der Waals forces. It is generally reversible and does not involve any significant energy change. - **Chemisorption**: This involves the formation of a chemical bond between the adsorbate and the adsorbent. It is usually irreversible and involves a significant energy change. ...
