Give an example where physisorption changes to chemisorption with rise in temperature. Explain the reason for change.
Adsorption of hydrogen gas on finely divided nickel surface takes place by physisorption through weak vander waals forces. With increase in temperature, hydrogen gas is dissociated into hydrogen atoms which makes chemical bonds with the adsorbent. Thus chemisorption occurs.
