Answer:
Explanation:
1) false ; PAH is acronym for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, not for polycyclic aromatic hydrogen.
2) true ; PAHs interact with a zeolite by intercalating into the pores
3) false ; A zeolite sequesters PAHs by the formation of permanent covalent bonds.
Answer:
1st statement false, 2nd statement true & 3rd statement false .
Explanation:
The task is to determined which sentence is true or false
PAH is Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Hydrogen is wrong.
Intercalation – is the reversible insertion of a molecule between two others.
Zeolites are minerals such as aluminosilicates of sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium, that have a porous structure; they are used in water softeners and in ion exchange chromatography.
PAHs indeed interact with a zeolite by intercalating into the pores.
To sequester means to prevent an ion in solution from behaving normally by forming a coordination compound.
A zeolite doesn't sequesters PAHs by the formation of permanent covalent bonds but by forming a coordination compound.
