Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term used for the maximum amount of solute that can be adsorbed on a surface? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what 'solute' means. A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solution.
  • Step 2: Learn about 'adsorption'. Adsorption is the process where molecules stick to a surface.
  • Step 3: Recognize that every surface can hold a certain amount of solute molecules.
  • Step 4: The maximum amount of solute that can stick to a surface is what we are trying to find.
  • Step 5: The term used to describe this maximum amount is 'adsorption capacity'.
