COMPREHENSION:
The adsorption is reversible, if the adsorbent can be easily removed from the surface of
the adsorbent by physical methods, if the adsorbate can not be removed from the
surface of the adsorbent. It is called irreversible adsorption. Examples of irreversible
adsorption are adsorption of oxygen on tungsten adsorbate and adsorption of CO on
tungsten surface The substances upon whose surface the change of concentration
occurs, is called absorbent. The substance taken up on the surface is call adsorbate.
The common surface between the two phases where the adsorbed molecules
concentrate is called the interface. Physical absorption occurs when the adsorbate gas
molecules are held by physical forces like Van der Waals forces. Chemical adsorption
occurs when the absorbate molecule is lield on the adsorbent surface by chemical
forces as short covalent chemical bonding occurs by the sharing of electrons.

(XXV) Define reversible and irreversible adsorption.

(xvi) Write an example of irreversible adsorption.
