Question: Ten Erlenmeyer flasks were filled with 3 0 0 m l of solution containing about 5 2 5 m g L of pesticide. The flasks

Ten Erlenmeyer flasks were filled with 300ml of solution containing about 525mgL of pesticide. The flasks were dosed with various weights of powdered activated carbon. Samples taken from flasks filtered to remove carbon and pesticide in filtrate was analyzed after equilibrium conditions were reached.
a) Determine the relationship of adsorption with pesticide concentration (i.e. which isotherm gives a better fit to the data provided?).(20 points)
b) Using isotherm found in part (a), determine the mass of activated carbon in batch process to remove 90% of pesticide from 10mL of water with 325mgL pesticide initial concentration. (20 points)
