Adsorption process is exothermic in nature.
According to Le Chatelier's principle, low temperature conditions would favour the forward direction. When the force of attraction existing between adsorbate and adsorbent are chemical forces of attraction or chemical bond, the process is called Chemical
Adsorption or Chemisorption.
With increase in temperature, chemisorption first increases as sufficient energy is being provided for the molecules to reach the activation energy. But after certain degree it decreases, as the further high temperature helps in breaking of the bond between the adsorbate and the adsorbed molecules.
