The rate of physisorption increases with

A

Temperature is decreased

B

Temperature is increased

C

Pressure is decreased

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Physical adsorption or physisorption :
When the particle of the adsorbate are held to the surface of the adsorbent by the physical forces such as vander Waal.s forces, the adsorption is called physisorption. Physisorption is decreased on rising the temperature because on increasing temperature the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases and they leave the surface of the adsorbent. On the other hand the rate of physisorption increases when temperature is decreased.

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 statements pertaining to the adsorption of a gas on a solid surface are (i) Adsorption is always exothermic (ii) Physisorption may transform into chemisorption at high temperature (iii) Physisorption increases with increasing temperature but chemisorotion decrease with increasing temperature (iv) Chemisorption is more exothermic than physisoption, however, it is very slow due to higher energy of activation
