Interface is few molecules thick ,
but its area depends Size
on of


particles in bulk phase

3
Adsorption The -
accumulation of molecular species at surface rather than in


the bulk of a solid or liquid is termed adsorption .

9. raw Sugar becomes colorless with animal charcoal

air becomes dry in Silica gel (adsorbs waters)

Removing adsorbate from adsorbent surface is desorption .

6
water vapour is absorbed by anhyd Cac .
and adsorbed by Silica get

Sorption -

Adsorption + Absorption (Simultaneously)

, .
8 forces
Adsorption is due to unbalanced at surface



.
9 Adsorption Surface Pressure
depends on area
per unit mass , and temp .




10 &H of adsorption is
always negative

11 .
in Adsorption AS is also negative due to loss of freedom of movement .
