Answer 1

Answer:

There are 2 different types of absorption.

Explanation:

There is physical absoption and chemical absorption. This type of adsorption is also known as physisorption. It is due to weak Van der Waals forces between adsorbate and adsorbent. This type of adsorption is also known as chemisorption. It is due to strong chemical forces of bonding type between adsorbate and adsorbent. Adsorption of gas on a solid is a spontaneous exothermic reaction. Amount of heat liberated when a unit mass of a gas is adsorbed on the surface is called heat of adsorption.
