Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of adsorption, what does the term 'saturation' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand what adsorption means. It is the process where molecules (adsorbate) stick to a surface (adsorbent).
  • Step 2: Know what an adsorbent is. It is the material that has a surface for the molecules to stick to.
  • Step 3: Learn about adsorbate. It is the substance that is being adsorbed onto the surface.
  • Step 4: Recognize that saturation happens when all available space on the adsorbent's surface is filled with adsorbate.
  • Step 5: Conclude that saturation means no more adsorbate can stick to the adsorbent because it is fully covered.
