Why does physisorption decrease with the increase of temperature?
Options
- AIncreased temperature leads to a decrease in the kinetic energy of gas molecules, reducing their ability to ad
- BIncreased temperature enhances the kinetic energy of gas molecules, making them less likely to be trapped on t
- CPhysisorption is not affected by temperature.
- DIncreased temperature increases the strength of van der Waals forces, making physisorption more difficult.
Correct answer
B. Increased temperature enhances the kinetic energy of gas molecules, making them less likely to be trapped on t
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Increased temperature enhances the kinetic energy of gas molecules, making them less likely to be trapped on the surface.
