4.Question 4What isanother word or term used for the sorption process, represented by the phrase _________ Factor?0 / 1 point

The term you are looking for that is commonly associated with the sorption process is "Partition Factor." Sorption refers to the process by which one substance becomes attached to another. This can include both adsorption, where molecules adhere to a surface, and absorption, where one substance is taken up into the volume of another.

The Partition Factor specifically describes the distribution of a solute between two phases, such as between a liquid and a solid or two immiscible liquids. It quantifies how much of a substance will preferentially move into one phase compared to another, serving as a critical parameter in fields such as chemistry, environmental science, and engineering. Understanding the partition factor can help predict how contaminants will behave in the environment or how substances will interact during chemical processes.
