Which statement is correct about chemisorptions?
Options
- AIt is irreversible in nature
- BIt involves formation multi layer of adsorbent on adsorbate
- CDecreases with increase of temperature
- DIt involves the weak attractive forces between adsorbent and adsorbate
Correct answer
A. It is irreversible in nature
Step-by-step solution
Chemical adsorption is irreversible due to formation of new strong chemical bonds. It is unilayer due formation of new chemical bonds. It first increases with increase in temperature due to supply of energy of activation then decreases due to breaking of covalent bond.
