Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the phenomenon where the adsorption of one species affects the adsorption of another?
  • Step 1: Understand what adsorption means. Adsorption is when molecules stick to a surface.
  • Step 2: Learn about adsorbates. An adsorbate is a substance that gets adsorbed onto a surface.
  • Step 3: Recognize that sometimes, when one adsorbate is present, it can change how another adsorbate sticks to the surface.
  • Step 4: This situation is called competitive adsorption because the two adsorbates are competing for the same surface space.
