Q13 / 90 · JEE Main 2012 (12 May Online) · Chemistry

The correct statement for both the processes of physisorption and chemisorption is

A
both are endothermic
B
chemisorption is endothermic but physisorption is exothermic
Correct answer
C
both are exothermic
D
physisorption is endothermic but chemisorption is exothermic.

Solution

Both are exothermic.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
