What is the primary advantage of chemisorption in catalysis?
It increases the activation energy of the reaction.
It enhances the physical adsorption of reactant molecules.
It reduces the efficiency of the catalytic reaction.
It provides a pathway with lower activation energy for the reaction to occur.
Chemisorption of reactant molecules on the catalyst surface forms activated complexes with lower activation energy, providing an energetically favourable pathway for the reaction to proceed at a higher rate.
