Objective : To find out the reaction rate of adsorption of acetic acid on charcoal
surface .
Balanced Equations:
CH3COOH + NaOH CH3COONa + H2O
KHP + NaOH KNaP + H2O
Observations :
When KHP was added to the water , it dissolved .
When phenolphthalein was added into KPH or acetic acid , the color of the solution
was colorless .
When titrate the KPH or acetic acid with NaOH , the color of the solution was
changed from colorless to pink .

Data treatment :
Molarity of NaOH : 0.082M
M.W. of acid = 60 g/mol
Flask No. Ce X
1 0.1927 0.1719
2 0.08938 0.10686
3 0.05084 0.07248
4 0.03116 0.05652
Ce = equilibrium [HAc](M)
X = mass of acetic acid adsorbed (g)
Calculation :
In flask 1 , Ce = (11.75/1000 x 0.082 ) / (50/1000) = 0.1927
X = (0.25-0.1927) x 60 x 50/1000 = 0.1719
In flask 2 , Ce = (5.45/1000 x 0.082) / (50/1000) = 0.08938
X = (0.125 – 0.08938) x 60 x 50/1000 = 0.10686
In flask 3, Ce = (6.2/1000 x 0.082) / (50/1000) = 0.05084
X = (0.075-0.05084) x 60 x 50/1000 = 0.07248
In flask 4, Ce = (3.8/1000 x 0.082) / (50/1000) = 0.03116
X = (0.05-0.03116 ) x 60 x 50/1000 = 0.05625
Question :
1. Considering log(x/m) = nlogc + logk
log ( x/m) log c

2)
1. Water treatment
2. use as antidote for medication
3. purify car exhaust gas
4. make mask for workers like construction workers
5. act as catalyst in chemical reaction
Conclusion :
The reaction rate of adsorption of acetic acid on charcoal surface is 0.46 s−1 .
