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.
