AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Adsorption**: Adsorption is a process where molecules of a substance (the adsorbate) accumulate on the surface of another substance (the adsorbent). 2. **Identifying the Terms**: In the context of adsorption: - The substance that accumulates on the surface is called the **adsorbate**. - The surface on which the adsorption occurs is called the **adsorbent**. 3. **Example for Clarity**: For instance, if we consider anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl₂) as the adsorbent, it can adsorb water (H₂O) from the environment. In this case: - **Adsorbent**: Anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl₂) - **Adsorbate**: Water (H₂O) 4. **Final Answer**: Therefore, in adsorption, the substance which accumulates on the surface of the other substance is termed as **adsorbate**.
