WHat lecture video did he talk about the difference between adsorption and absorption?

I cannot remember him specifically describing the difference but I do believe he has mentioned that gases aDsorb onto platinum electrodes and metal catalysts to make the reaction happen faster. I think it might be one of those things that people assume everyone gets even though its kinda confusing, who knows.

WHat lecture video did he talk about the difference between adsorption and absorption?

I believe it is the Wednesday lecture of this week, but in short, absorption is taking the material into the substance, like a sponge absorbs water, and adsorption is the material being located ON the substance, where a reactant sits on the surface of a catalyst to react.
