  3. C High temperature and high pressure
  4. D Low temperature and low pressure
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) High temperature and high pressure

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chemisorption involves formation of strong chemical bonds between adsorbate and adsorbent. Temperature: Since bond formation requires activation energy, high temperature provides the necessary energy to overcome the activation energy barrier. Hence high temperature is…
