adsorption means that the molecules of one phase are present in higher concentration at the surface of the second phase.

ex.inert gases on charcoal

when the temperature is increasing the adsorption decreases.so , we can say the adsorption is always exothermic.

Does physical adsorption have a low adsorption enthalpy?

Yes, physical adsorption typically has a low adsorption enthalpy due to weak van der Waals forces between the adsorbate and adsorbent. These interactions are reversible and non-specific, leading to lower enthalpies compared to chemical adsorption.

Is adsorption a chemical process in which one substance is taken up by another?

Yes, adsorption is a process in which one substance (the adsorbate) is attracted and binds to the surface of another material (the adsorbent) through physical or chemical interactions. This results in a concentration of the adsorbate at the surface of the adsorbent.


Is evapouration an exothermic or endothermic process?

Crystallization is considered an exothermic process. Hand warmers use the process of sodium acetate crystallization to produce heat.


Is bond breaking an endothermic or exothermic process?

Is wax in a candle burning an exothermic process or endothermic?

Burning a candle is an exothermic process because it releases heat energy. The chemical reaction between the wax and oxygen produces both light and heat, making it exothermic.


Is the process of electron affinity endothermic or exothermic?

The process of electron affinity is generally exothermic, meaning it releases energy.


Is the process of electron affinity exothermic or endothermic?

The process of electron affinity is generally exothermic, meaning it releases energy.


Are Anions are associated with exothermic or endothermic process?

Anions are not associated with either exothermic or endothermic processes on their own. The classification of a process as exothermic or endothermic depends on the overall energy change of the reaction in which the anion is involved.
