Chapter 11, Problem 11.68PAE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The terms, adsorbed and desorbed should be defined and it should be stated whether the processes referred from those terms occur only in heterogeneous catalysis.

Concept introduction:

Adsorption and desorption are related to deposition and release of a substance from another; respectively.
