Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of adsorption is characterized by a low heat of adsorption, typically less than 40 kJ/mol? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what adsorption means. Adsorption is when molecules stick to a surface.
  • Step 2: Learn about the two main types of adsorption: physisorption and chemisorption.
  • Step 3: Know that physisorption involves weak forces, while chemisorption involves stronger chemical bonds.
  • Step 4: Remember that physisorption has a low heat of adsorption, which is less than 40 kJ/mol.
  • Step 5: Recognize that the weak forces in physisorption are called van der Waals forces.
