Why do you say adsorption?
Don't you mean absorption?


Adsorption and absorption are two different things. Absorption occurs when a substance is chemically integrated 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 is being held inside another by physical bonds. If you spill a glass of water on your shirt, it is adsorbed as the fibers will hold the water until heat dries out the shirt.
