Write the differences between physisorption and chemisorption with respect to the following:
(i) Specificity
(ii) Temperature dependence
(iii) Reversibility and

Write the dispersed phase and dispersion medium of butter.
In colloidal dispersion, one substance is dispersed as very fine particles in another substance called dispersion medium. In the case of dust, solid particles are dispersed in air as the dispersion medium.
Dispersed phase: Liquid
Dispersion medium: Solid
