Answer:
Explanation:
Adsorption is a process which involves the accumulation of a substance in molecular species in higher concentration on the surface.
If we look at Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen, these gases adsorb on activated charcoal.
Meanwhile, we have to note that adsorption is different from absorption. The two processes involve totally different mechanisms.
For the adsorption process, two components are required,
- Adsorbate: Substance which is deposited on the surface of another substance. For example, H2, N2 and O2 gases.
- Adsorbent: Surface of a substance on which adsorbate adsorbs. For example, Charcoal, Silica gel, Alumina.
