Assertion:In chemisorption, adsorptions keeps on increasing with temperature. Reason: Heat absorbed initially keeps on providing more and more of activation energy.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect

D

If (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In chemisorption, adsorption first increases with temperature and then decreases. Heat absorbed initially provides activation energy for the reaction between adsorbate and adsorbent.
