00:00:02.399 absorption and adsorption 00:00:08.66000:00:08.670 some tea accidentally falls while you're 00:00:11.61000:00:11.620 studying what is the best way to remove 00:00:14.25000:00:14.260 it off immediately click on the right 00:00:17.04000:00:17.050 option 00:00:26.33000:00:26.340 yes 00:00:27.63000:00:27.640 now watch the tissue paper suck away the 00:00:30.30000:00:30.310 spill liquid quickly if we had used 00:00:33.68900:00:33.699 ordinary paper the tea would not be 00:00:36.27000:00:36.280 completely absorbed 00:00:38.75000:00:38.760 tissue paper absorbs the liquid and 00:00:41.74000:00:41.750 ordinary paper and solves a liquid how 00:00:46.04000:00:46.050 are these two different let us learn 00:00:48.68000:00:48.690 more on them 00:00:55.77000:00:55.780 let's understand absorption and 00:00:58.64000:00:58.650 adsorption a little better 00:01:03.68900:01:03.699 absorption is the passage of one 00:01:06.64000:01:06.650 substance into or through the bulk of 00:01:09.31000:01:09.320 another medium the absorbed substance 00:01:12.61000:01:12.620 spreads to saturate the whole of the 00:01:14.86000:01:14.870 medium to form a solution the mixing 00:01:18.10000:01:18.110 with the other mediums environment is so 00:01:20.44000:01:20.450 well that one fails to recognize its 00:01:23.35000:01:23.360 existence as a separate entity 00:01:28.97000:01:28.980 in contrast what happens during 00:01:31.83000:01:31.840 adsorption adsorption is the addition or 00:01:35.97000:01:35.980 sticking together of molecules of a gas 00:01:38.79000:01:38.800 liquid or dissolved solids to the 00:01:41.97000:01:41.980 surface of a solid or sometimes a liquid 00:01:44.72000:01:44.730 the molecules are loosely held by the 00:01:47.70000:01:47.710 surface and can easily dropped off 00:01:58.77000:01:58.780 let's see the difference between these 00:02:01.06000:02:01.070 processes absorption is seen in calm day 00:02:05.26000:02:05.270 examples perfume spray is absorbed by 00:02:08.80000:02:08.810 asking crisp fingertips turn soggy 00:02:13.09000:02:13.100 because they have absorbed moisture from 00:02:15.64000:02:15.650 the air one substance is well soaked 00:02:19.06000:02:19.070 into a different medium 00:02:21.63000:02:21.640 what about adsorption here is a jar 00:02:25.51000:02:25.520 containing a red dye dissolved in water 00:02:28.29000:02:28.300 look what happens when a solid pellet of 00:02:31.84000:02:31.850 carbon is dropped into the jar 00:02:33.78000:02:33.790 well isn't that surprising the red color 00:02:38.17000:02:38.180 has almost disappeared in the jar why 00:02:42.27000:02:42.280 the charcoal pellet has minut pores on 00:02:46.00000:02:46.010 its surface that caused the colored 00:02:48.04000:02:48.050 particles stick to it the red dye 00:02:50.77000:02:50.780 undergoes the process of adsorption 00:02:54.99000:02:55.000 shake or warm this jar and low you get 00:02:59.68000:02:59.690 back the red color adsorption can be 00:03:02.59000:03:02.600 easily reversed by simple heating and as 00:03:05.53000:03:05.540 transitory when a substance is absorbed 00:03:08.83000:03:08.840 in a different medium 00:03:10.15000:03:10.160 it's called absorption usually 00:03:13.56000:03:13.570 absorption cannot be reversed by simple 00:03:16.36000:03:16.370 means although it may also be temporary 00:03:23.26000:03:23.270 now let's focus on adsorption by carbon 00:03:26.71000:03:26.720 and some practical applications we could 00:03:29.95000:03:29.960 use adsorption for such diverse things 00:03:32.53000:03:32.540 like in deodorizing air in a 00:03:35.98000:03:35.990 refrigerator decolorizing sugar solution 00:03:39.25000:03:39.260 and controlling excessive acidity 00:03:42.72000:03:42.730 activated charcoal in a gas mask 00:03:45.25000:03:45.260 attracts toxic gas molecules allowing 00:03:48.73000:03:48.740 the person wearing the mask to breathe 00:03:50.92000:03:50.930 fresh air drag the carbon pellet to each 00:03:54.97000:03:54.980 of the units displayed here one by one 00:03:57.73000:03:57.740 and observe the reactions that take 00:04:00.16000:04:00.170 place 00:04:08.63000:04:08.640 you 00:04:27.40000:04:27.410 identify whether a solid or liquid or 00:04:30.68000:04:30.690 gas is adsorbed by carbon in all these 00:04:35.06000:04:35.070 cases 00:04:42.97000:04:42.980
