How do you separate 2 allotropic forms of hydrogen?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ordinary hydrogen is a mixture of 75% of ortho and 25% of para-isomer at room temperature. On passing through activated charcoal kept at 20K, the para-isomer is adsorbed leaving behind the ortho- isomer. From the charcoal surface, para-hydrogen can be released by reducing pressure.
