Question

State true or false: Chemisorption is irreversible.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Irreversible processes

• An irreversible process can be defined as a process in which the system and the surroundings do not return to their original condition once the process is initiated.

Chemisorption

• Chemisorption is a kind of adsorption that involves a formation of a chemical bond between the surface molecules and adsorbate molecules.
• This results in the generation of new chemical bonds.
• Therefore, chemisorption is an irreversible process.

Hence, the given statement is true.
