Assertion : Physical and chemical adsoptions respond differently to a rise in temperature.
Reason : Chemical adsorption requires some activation energy.
(A). Physical and chemical adsoptions respond differently to a rise in temperature because
chemical adsorption requires some activation energy. So, at low temperatures, it is very small
but increases with a rise in temperature. At higher temperatures, it starts decreasing because
the adsorbate molecules gain more kinetic energy and are able to leave the surface of the
adsorbent. While in physical adsorption decreases with a rise in temperature.
