Assertion : In physical adsorption , enthalpy of adsorption in very low. Reason : In physical adsorption , enthalpy of adsorption is very low. Reason : In physical adsorption , attraction between gas molecules and solid surface is due to weak van der Walls forces.

Observe the given adsorption isotherm carefully and choose the correct option (i) These curves indicates that at a fixed temperature, there is a decrease in physical adsorption with increase in pressure. (ii) These curves always seem to approach saturation at high pressure. x/m=k*p^(1//n) (n gt 1) is generally represented by this isotherm. (iv) These curves indicate that at a fixed pressure, there is a decrease in physcial adsorption with increase in temperature .
