    Review Questions: Adsorption

    Uploaded by

    John P. Bandoquillo
    This document contains a review of questions about adsorption concepts. Some key points covered are: - Physical adsorption is a reversible phenomenon accompanied by heat evolution. Chemisorption involves adsorption of heat and is characterized by formation of a surface compound. - The rate of adsorption generally increases as temperature decreases and pressure increases. - Adsorption hysteresis occurs when the desorption equilibrium pressure is either lower or higher than the adsorption pressure, depending on the system. - Activated carbon is commonly used to decolorize yellow glycerine via adsorption.
