One gram of activated carbon has a surface area of `1000m^2` considering complete coverage as well as monomolecular adsorption. How much ammonia at latm and 273K would be adsorbed on the surface of 44/7gr. carbon. If radius of a ammonia molecule is `10^(-8)cm` .........

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
7
Total surface area of carbon `44/7 xx 10^(7) cm^(2) , r = 10^(-8) cm`
surface area of `NH_3 = pi r^2 = 22/7 xx 10^(-16) cm^2`
 No. of `NH_3` molecules adsorbed ` = ((44)/(7) xx 10^(7))/(22/7 xx 10^(-16)) = 2 xx 10^(23)`
vol. of `NH_3` adsorbed at STP `= (2 xx 10^(23))/(6 xx 10^(23)) xx 22.4 = 7.46 ` lit

The earth's surface has a negative surface charge density of 10^(-9) C m^(-2) . The potential difference of 400 kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low condutivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. if there were no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise the earth's surface (This never happens in parctice there is a mechanism to replenish electric charges, namely the continual thunderstorms and lightning in different parts of the globe). (Radius of earth = 6.3 xx 10^(6) m )
