Question
Define physical and chemical adsorption.
Solution
Answer:
If the adsorbate is held on the surface by weak Van der Waal’s forces, the process is called physical adsorption.
When an adsorbate is held on the surface of the adsorbent by chemical forces, it is called chemical adsorption.
If the adsorbate is held on the surface by weak Van der Waal’s forces, the process is called physical adsorption.
When an adsorbate is held on the surface of the adsorbent by chemical forces, it is called chemical adsorption.
