In the case of physical adsorption the extent of adsorption (x/m) decrease with increase of temperature, as most of the adsorption processes are exothermic with increase n temperature the kinetic energy of the molecule increase and they try to escape from the surface and hence physical adsorption decrease with increase in temperature.
In case of chemical adsorption as the temperature increase the extent of adsorption (x/m) increase, attains a maximum value and then decrease.(i) What is the charge of AgI colloidal particles in the two test tube (A) and (B).
(ii) Give reason for the origin of change.
(i) How are the values of k and n determined experimentally?
(ii) Explain why the value of n should be equal to or greater than one?
Explain the following observations:
(a) Ferric hydroxide sol gets coagulated on addition of sodium chloride solution.
(b) Cottrell’s smoke precipitator is fitted at the mouth of the chimney used in factories.
(c) Physical adsorption is multi layered, while chemisorption non layered.
