Is adsorption a chemical process in which one substance is taken up by another?
Adsorption is generally a physical change.
a "chemical reaction".
no because a chemical change is any process in which 1 or more substance is changed into 1 or more substances whereas a chemical reaction is a process that leads to a transformation of one set of chemical substances to another
Biogeochemical cycle is a process in which elements, chemical compounds and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to another. Nutrients are a chemical substance that an organism needs to sustain life.
Yes! Wanna cookie?
Chemical Change
ab·sorp·tion (b-sôrpshn, -zôrp-) n.1. The act or process of absorbing or the condition of being absorbed.2. A state of mental concentration.This is what you are thinking of.
Adsorption on kaolinite is physical
No. Evaporation is a physical process and it does not distinguish one substance from another.
Re-adsorption is defined as the absorption of a substance that was previously removed. This process commonly occurs with water in the body.
Chemical
A chemical action or reaction is a process that transforms one chemical substance to a new substance.
Answer 2Absorption is the process in which a fluid is dissolved by a liquid or a solid (absorbent).Adsorption is the process in which atoms, ions or molecules from a substance (it could be gas, liquid or dissolved solid) adhere to a surface of the adsorbent. Adsorption is a surface-based process where a film of adsorbate is created on the surface while absorption involves the entire volume of the absorbing substance. There are some adsorption analyzers (eg V-Sorb 2800P) by using gas (like N2, Kr etc) as adsorbates to attach on materials to get samples adsorption isotherms, then to know surface area, pore size and so on data.Adsorption: Some of the industrial applications for adsorption are air-conditioning, adsorption chillers, synthetic resin and water purification. An adsorption chiller does not require moving parts and hence is quiet. In pharmaceutical industry applications, adsorption is used as a means to prolong neurological exposure to specific drugs or parts thereof. Adsorption of molecules onto polymer surfaces is used in various applications such as in the development of non-stick coatings and in various biomedical devices.Absorption: The common commercial uses of absorption cycle are absorption chillers for space cooling applications, ice production, cold storage, turbine inlet cooling. High efficiency operation, environmentally friendly refrigerants, clean-burning fuels and few moving parts that require maintenance make absorption a very good choice for consumers. The process of gas absorption by a liquid is used in hydrogenation of oils and carbonation of beverages.Answer 1 Adsorption and absorption are two different things.Absorption is the chemical integration of one chemical into another. When you drink a glass of water, you are absorbing it, as the water becomes part of you.Adsorption occurs when one substance holds another via physical bonds. If you spill a glass of water on your shirt, it is adsorbed as the fibres will hold the water until heat dries out the shirt.
a "chemical reaction".
The process is called metabolism.
chemical reaction
A chemical reaction
adsorption is processs of accumulation of liquid/gases on solid surface. reversible adsorption is seen in physical adsorption where increase in pressure increases the adsorption and decrease in pressure decrease adsorption of molecules to surface that is desorption takes place
