Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of surface chemistry, what does the term 'desorption' refer to? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that 'adsorbate' is a substance that has been attached to a surface.
  • Step 2: Know that 'adsorbent' is the surface to which the adsorbate is attached.
  • Step 3: Realize that 'desorption' is the opposite of 'adsorption', which is when the adsorbate sticks to the adsorbent.
  • Step 4: Conclude that desorption is the process where the adsorbate is released or removed from the adsorbent's surface.
