Define the terms adsorbent and adsorbate.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To define the terms adsorbent and adsorbate, we can break down the concepts as follows: ### Step 1: Define Adsorbate - **Adsorbate** refers to the substance that accumulates on the surface of another material during the process of adsorption. It can be in the form of molecules, ions, or atoms that adhere to the surface of the adsorbent. ### Step 2: Define Adsorbent - **Adsorbent** is the material or substance that provides the surface for adsorption to occur. It is the solid or liquid that attracts and holds the adsorbate on its surface. ...
