Why does physical adsorption decrease with an increase in temperature?
(N/A) Physical adsorption is exothermic in nature. According to Le Chatelier's principle,an increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium in the backward direction,causing the amount of gas adsorbed to decrease. Therefore,physical adsorption occurs more readily at lower temperatures.
