The activation energy and enthalpy of chemisorption of oxygen on a metal surface is 37.3kJ mol^(-1) and -72.1kJ mol^(-1) At a certain pressure, the rate constant for chemisorption is 1.2xx10^(-3) at 318 K . What will be the value of the rate constant at 308K ?

Giving appropriate examples, explain how the types of processes of adsorption (physisorption and chemisorption) are influenced by the prevailing temperature , the surface area of adsorbent and the activation energy of the process?

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.

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.
