Methodology
A. Materials
The materials used in this experiment are the following:
Dye (9.0678g)- was used as an adsorbate
Activated carbon (25.0229g)- was used to adsorbed the dye
Distilled water- was used as a solvent
Digital balance- was used to weigh dye, activated carbon, and adsorbed
solution
Stopwatch- was used to measure the amount of time elapsed
Graduated cylinder (250ml)- was used to measure the amount of solvent and
the amount of solution
Beaker (500ml)- was used to mix the solution
Burette- was used to adsorbed the solution by fixed bed adsorption
Ruler- was used to measure the amount of activated carbon in the burette
Stirring rod- was used to stir the solution
Filter paper- was used filter the solution
Funnel- was used to transfer the solution
B. Preparation of Reference Solution
For the preparation of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 % w/w dye solution, weigh 0.6018,
1.2047, 1.8113, 2.4196, and 3.0304 grams of dye. Measure 300ml of distilled water.
Poor the weighted dye in each 250ml beaker and mix it with the measured amount of
water.
Poor 200ml of the sample solution in a 250ml graduated cylinder and determine the
density of the individual solution at room temperature by using hydrometer. Plot the
concentration as a function of density and determine the best equation that represents
the experimental data.
