generally high temperature is favourable for chemisorption. why?

Chemisorption involves chemical reaction between adsorbate and adsorbent molecules.Energy(activation energy) is required to start the chemical reaction. Thus, chemisorption is favoured at higher temperatures.

as chemosorption involves a chemical reaction ,it is slow at low temperature lyk other chem. reactions ,it requires high energy of activation and hence chemisorption increases with increase in temp.
