Why do physisorption and chemisorption behave differently with rising in temperature?
 

Answers (1)

While physisorption occurs because of van der waal’s forces, which weaken with increasing temperature, chemisorption occurs by forming bonds. On increasing temperature, the activation energy required to form the bonds is reached more easily. Hence, physisorption weakens with rising temperature, but chemisorption strengthens.
