Adsorption and Absorption are same. True/False?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms**: First, we need to define both terms clearly. - **Absorption**: This is a process where particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) enter the bulk of a substance. It involves the incorporation of one substance into another, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. - **Adsorption**: This is a process where particles accumulate on the surface of a solid or liquid. It involves the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface. 2. **Identifying Key Differences**: - **Location of Process**: ...
