Q.

1 g of charcoal adsorbs 100 mL of 0.5 M CH3COOH to form a monolayer and thereby the molarity of CH3COOHreduces to 0.49. The surface area of charcoal adsorbed by each molecule of acetic acid (surface area of charcoal =3.01×102m2/g)   is ___ ×1019m2

Detailed Solution

Millimole of acetic acid taken = 100 x 0.5 = 50
Millimole of acetic acid left = 100 x 0.49 = 49
Millimole of acetic acid adsorbed = 50 – 49 = 1
Molecules of acetic acid adsorbed    

=1×103×6.023×1023=6.023×1020      
Total area of 1 g charcoal covered by these molecules  =3.01×102m2
 Area covered by 1 molecule    =3.01×1026.023×1020(  unilayer  adsorption)

=5×1019m2
