Why do physisorption and chermisorption behave differently with rise in temperature ? Physisorption involves weak van der Waals’ forces which weakens with increase in temperature. Chemisorption involves formation of chemical bond which requires activation energy hence, it is favoured by rise in temperature.
Q. Why does Physisorption decrease with increase of temperature?
As the surface area of adsorbent increases, the rate of this process increases. Extent of physisorption is more in finely divided metal particles or in porous materials. This is an exothermic process that means heat is evolved in this process. So, the rate of physisorption decreases with increase in temperature.

Q. What decreases with increase in temperature?
In general, liquids tend to get “thinner” when their temperature increases. For example, honey and oil tend to flow better at higher temperatures. Therefore, increasing temperature decreases viscosity.
Q. How does temperature affect adsorption?
If the temperature is increased, adsorbate molecules get removed from the adsorbent and this process is called as desorption. In chemical adsorption due to the high energy of activation, the extent of adsorption increases initially and decreases as the temperature increases further.
Q. What is the effect of pressure and temperature on absorption?
increases with absorption temperature as well as with charging pressure. reaction rates which thereby increases cooling capacity and reduces cycle time.
Q. Does rate of adsorption always decreases with time?
The adsorption of ensemble molecules on a surface or interface can be divided into two processes: adsorption and desorption. If the adsorption rate wins the desorption rate, the molecules will accumulate over time giving the adsorption curve over time.
Q. Does rate of adsorption increase with time?
Yes, the adsorption capacity increased with increase in temperature. Adsorption capacity of an adsorbent increases with temperature because with increase in temperature the dye uptake increases as dye molecules may acquire sufficient energy to undergo an interaction with active site at the surface .
Q. Why does adsorption decrease with time?
As adsorption takes place, adsorbates attach to adsorbent active sites, number of active sites decreases, and probability of adsorption decreases. It happens when adsorbate molecules and adsorbent active sites are of comparable population, unlike the case of dilute adsorbate concentration.
Q. What affects the rate of adsorption?
On the solid surface, there is a fixed number of adsorption sites where gas molecules can be adsorbed. Initially when the pressure has increased the rate of adsorption increases due to an increase in the gas molecules striking on the surface. Thus, an increase in the pressure increases the rate of adsorption linearly.
Q. Does time affect adsorption?
2.4 Effect of time As time of adsorption is changed from 20 to 120 minutes, efficiency first decreased from 72 to 69% and further increased to 72 % and afterwards no change is observed. As time progresses the surface coverage of the adsorbent is high and further no adsorption take place.
Q. Which is not factor for choosing adsorbent?
Which is not factor for choosing adsorbent ? D. Temperature.
Q. What is the effect of chemisorption?
Answer: Chemisorption involves formation of chemical bonds. With increase in temperature, number of molecules having energy equal to or greater than activation energy increases. Hence, the extent of chemisorption increases.
Q. Why chemisorption is not reversible?
Solution. Physisorption takes place with the help of non-covalent bonding between an adsorbate and an adsorbent; it makes the process reversible. Chemisorption, on the other hand, takes place with the help of covalent bonding; it makes the process irreversible.
Q. At what temperature chemisorption occurs?
Chemisorption involves the formation of chemical bonds between the adsorbate and adsorbent is a monolayer, often with a release of heat much larger than the heat of condensation. Chemisorption from a gas generally takes place only at temperatures greater than 200 oC, and may be slow and irreversible.
Q. Can chemisorption be endothermic?
The reaction of gases with the surface layer of solids may, however, lead to the formation of endothermic compounds. Chemisorption, therefore, may have an endothermic character. Endothermic addition compounds between the reacting molecules and the catalyst molecules may play an important role in homogeneous catalysis.
Q. Does chemisorption occur rapidly?
1 Physisorption. Physical adsorption occurs rapidly because it does not require an activation energy. However, slow uptake may be observed on finely porous adsorbent such as zeolites and some carbons due to diffusion limitations rather than the sorption process itself.
Q. Is Physisorption reversible?
Physisorption is also known as physical adsorption and it is an exothermic process. It has reversible nature that is physisorption of gas by a solid can be reversed to a solid by gas.
Q. What is the difference between physisorption and chemisorption how does it vary with temperature?
Physisorption has a very low adsorption enthalpy of nearly about 20 to 40 kJ/mol. 5. Chemisorption has higher adsorption enthalpy, nearly about 80 to 240 kJ/mol, than that of physisorption. As the temperature increases the amount of physisorption taking place decreases.
