What is the term used for the amount of solute that can be adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent?
Correct Answer: adsorption capacity
- Step 1: Understand what 'solute' means. A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solution.
- Step 2: Know what 'adsorbent' means. An adsorbent is a material that can hold onto the solute on its surface.
- Step 3: Learn about 'adsorption'. Adsorption is the process where the solute sticks to the surface of the adsorbent.
- Step 4: Identify what 'adsorption capacity' means. It is the measure of how much solute can stick to a certain amount of adsorbent.
- Step 5: Conclude that the term used for the amount of solute that can be adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent is 'adsorption capacity'.
