Answer:

Adsorption

  • Adsorption is a surface phenomenon of accumulation of molecules of a substance at the surface rather than in the bulk of a solid or liquid.
  • The substance that gets adsorbed is called the ‘adsorbate’ and the substance on whose surface the adsorption takes place is called the ‘adsorbent’.
  • Here, the concentration of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent increases.
  • In adsorption, the substance gets concentrated at the surface only.
  • It does not penetrate through the surface to the bulk of the solid or liquid.
  • For example, when we dip a chalk stick into an ink solution, only its surface becomes coloured.
  • If we break the chalk stick, it will be found to be white from inside.  

Absorption:

  • The process of absorption is a bulk phenomenon.
  • In absorption, the substance gets uniformly distributed throughout the bulk of the solid or liquid.
