Solution
The correct option is C18 mg Initial millimole of acetic acid solution = N × Volume = 0.06N×50=3 millimole
Final millimole of acetic acid solution = 0.042N×50=2.1 millimole
Acetic acid adsorbed = 3- 2.1 = 0.9 millimole
Weight after 60 minutes = 0.9103×60=54mg
Amount of acetic acid adsorbed per gram of charcoal = 543=18 mg
