Question
Physical adsorption of a gaseous species may change to chemical adsorption with ______.
Options
decrease in temperature
increase in temperature
increase in surface area of adsorbent
decrease in surface area of adsorbent

Solution
Physical adsorption of a gaseous species may change to chemical adsorption with increase in temperature.
Explanation:
On increasing temperature physisorption changes to chemisorption. As the temperature increases, energy of activation of adsorbate particles increases which leads to formation of chemical bond between adsorbate and adsorbent. Hence, physisorption transform into chemisorption.

Assertion: Detergents with low CMC are more economical to use.
Reason: Cleansing action of detergents involves the formation of micelles. These are formed when the concentration of detergents becomes equal to CMC.
