What is the difference between physisorption and chemisorption?
Physisorption | Chemisorption |
1. In this type of adsorption, the adsorbate is attached to the surface of the adsorbent with weak van der Waal's forces of attraction. |
In this type of adsorption, strong chemical bonds are formed between the adsorbate and the surface of the adsorbent. |
2. No new compound is formed in the process. |
New compounds are formed at the surface of the adsorbent. |
3. It is generally found to be reversible in nature. |
It is usually irreversible in nature. |
4. Enthalpy of adsorption is low as weak van der Waal's forces of attraction are involved. The values lie in the range of 20-40 kJ mol - 1. |
Enthalpy of adsorption is high as chemical bonds are formed. The values lie in the range of 40-400 kJ mol - 1. |
5. It is favoured by low temperature conditions. |
It is favoured by high temperature conditions. |
6. It is an example of multi-layer adsorption |
It is an example of mono-layer adsorption. |
The rate constant for the decomposition of N2O5 at various temperatures is given below:
T/°C |
0 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 80 |
105 X K /S-1 |
0.0787 | 1.70 | 25.7 | 178 | 2140 |
Draw a graph between ln k and 1/T and calculate the values of A and Ea.
Predict the rate constant at 30 º and 50 ºC.
