The pressure of the gas was found to decrease from 720 to 480 mm. When 5g of sample of activated charcoal was kept in a flask of one litre capacity maintained at `27^(@)C`. If the density of charcoal is `1.25 gm//mL`. The volume of gas adsorbed per gm of charcoal at 480 mm of Hg is :

A

`80.03 mL`

B

`32.20 mL`

C

`100.08 mL`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`V_(2)=(P_(1)V_(1))/(P_(2))=(720xx1000)/(480)=1500 ml`
Volume of gas in the flask `=1000- "volume of charcoal"=1000-5/1.25=996 ml`
Total volume of gas adsorbe by charcoal `=1500-996=504 ml`
Volume of gas adsorbe by per gram of charcoal `=504/5=100.08 ml`

A sample of 16 g charcoal was brought into contact with CH_(4) gas contained in a vessel of 1 litre at 27^(@) C . The presses of gas was found to fall from 760 to 608 torr. The density of chacoal sample is 1.6 g//m^(3) . What is the volume of the CH_(4) gas adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent at 608 torr and 27^(@)C ?

The density of a gas is found to be 1.56 g/litre at 745 mm pressure and 65^(@)C . Calculate the molecular mass of the gas.

A sample of charcoal weighing 6 g was brought into contact with a gas contained in a vessel of one litre capacity at 27^(@)C . The pressure of the gas was found to fall from 700 to 400 mm. Calculate the volume of the gas (reduced to STP) that is adsorbent under the condition of the experiment ("density of charcoal sample is" 1.5 g cm^(3)) .

Adsorption is the presence of excess concentration of any particular component at the surface of liquid a solid phase as compared to bulk.This is due to presence of residual forces at the surface of body.In the adsorption of hydrogen gas over a sample of charcoal, 1.12cm^3 of H_2(g) measured over S.T.P was found to absorb per gram of charcoal.Consider only monolayer adsorption.Density of H_2 is 0.07gm/cc. In another experiment same 1 gm charcoal adsorbs 100 ml of 0.5M CH_3COOH to form monolayer and thereby the molarity of CH_3COOH reduces to 0.49. ((3xx47.43)/(4pi))^(1//3)=2.24 (2.24)^2=5 Specific surface are of charcoal is (cm^2//gm) -
