Q.

One litre of 0.4 M acetic acid solution is passed through twelve grams of activated animal charcoal. The concentration of acetic acid solution coming out of charcoal was found to be 0.25 M. Value of x/m is (x= weight of adsorbate, ,m= weight of adsorbent; assume no volume changes during the process)

Detailed Solution

I) Number of moles of CH3COOH before adsorbtion

0.4=n1×11 n1=0.4;

II) Number of moles of CH3COOH after adsorption

0.25=n2×11 n2=0.25

Number of moles of CH3COOH adsorbed = (0.4 - 0.25) = 0.15

Weight of CH3COOH adsorbed (x) = 0.15 x 60 =9 g

 Weight of charcoal (m) = 12 g

xm=912=0.75
