Which of the following is incorrect for physisorption?
Options
- AReversible
- BIncreases with increase in temperature.
- CLow heat of adsorption.
- DIncreases with increase in surface area.
Correct answer
B. Increases with increase in temperature.
Step-by-step solution
Since, the adsorption process is exothermic, the physical adsorption occurs readily at low temperature and decreases with increase in temperature (Le-Chatelier's principle).
