Think about the forces involved.
Question 2.
What is the heat of adsorption for physisorption?
Show hintHide hint
It's a low value compared to chemisorption.
3Question 3.

Question 5.
Consider a scenario where the temperature of an adsorbent surface is increased. Discuss the effects on both physisorption and chemisorption within the context of adsorption principles.
Show hintHide hint
Consider both types and their respective heat interactions.
Question 6.
