    This document describes an experiment where 1.5 g of activated charcoal was used to absorb various concentrations of acetic acid solutions. The amount of acetic acid absorbed was determined through titration. Samples with different initial acetic acid concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 0.02 mol/dm3 were prepared and the final concentrations were measured after absorption. The results were used to determine the concentration of acetic acid absorbed by the charcoal and calculate values for c/y, log c, and log y, where c is the concentration of acetic acid in solution and y is the amount absorbed per gram of charcoal. References for laboratory manuals are also provided.

    EXPERIMENT 8 : ABSORPTION OF ACETIC ACID ON ACTIVATED COMPLEX
    Objective : to observed the absorption isotherm of acetic acid by activated carbon.
    Procedure :
    1.5 g of activated charcoal was weighed and placed in six dry glass-stoppered flasks.
    Series of acetic acid with different concentrations was prepared based on Table 8.1 in the
    lab manual. 0.4 M Acetic acid was placed in 100 cm 3 measuring cylinder according the
    volume acetic acid used in the Table 8.1 and the acetic acid required then was diluted with
    distilled water until it reach the 100 cm3 mark. After the acetic solution was prepared, the
    acid was transferred into the dried glass-stoppered flasks which contained the activated
    charcoal. The flask was swirled vigorously and was let to stand for a week. After a week, the
    solution was filtered. The suitable volume according to the Table 8.2 was titrated with 0.1 M
    NaOH standard solution. Phenolphthalein was used as indicator. The titration was repeated
    three times for each sample.
