Question

Why is physisorption reversible whereas chemisorption is Irreversible

Answer 1

Explanation:

Physisorption takes place with the help of non-covalent bonding between an adsorbate and an adsorbent; it makes the process reversible. Chemisorption, on the other hand, takes place with the help of covalent bonding; it makes the process irreversible.

Answer 2

QUESTION -

ANSWER -

Physisorption takes place by the help of non covalent attraction between adsorbate and adsorbent making the process reversible while Chemisorption takes place by the help of covalent bonding resulting it irreversible.
