In the case of chemisorption, why adsorption first increases and then decreases with temperature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The initial increases is due to the fact that the heat supplied acts as an activation energy. The decrease afterwards is due to the exothermic nature of adsorption equilibrium.

In case of chemical adsorption,

Assertion :- In case of chemical adsorption, (x)/(m) first increase then decrease with temp. Reason :- The intial increase is due to the fact that heat supplied acts as a activation energy. The decrease afterwards is due to the exothermic nature of adsorption at equilibrium.

Why does physisorption decrease with the increase of temperature ?

Which of the following statements is not true? a. Both physisorption and chemisorption are exothermic. b. Physisorption occurs with increase of free energy. c. Physisorption requires low activation energy but chemisorption requires high activation energy. d. The magnitude of chemisorption increases and that of physisorption decreases with rise in temperature.

A gas expands such that its initial and final temperatures are equal. Also the process followed by the gas traces a straight line on the P-V diagram (i) The temperature of the gas remains constant throughout (ii) The temperature of the gas first increases and then decreases (iii) The temperature of the gas first decreases and then increases (iv) The straight line has negative slope

Why does the speed of sound increase with increase in temperature?

The correct statement(s) pertaining to the adsorption of a gas on a solid surface is(are) (i) adsorption is always exothermic (ii) physisorption may transform into chemsisorption transform into chemisorption at high temperature (iii) physisorption increases with increasing temperature but chemisorption decreases with increasing temperature . (iv) chemisorption is more exothermic than physisorption , however it is very slow due to higher energy of activation.
