Question
Experiments are conducted on the uptake of a water pollutant in water over an adsorbing solid. Once equilibrium is reached the concentration C, of the pollutant in the water (in mg/L) and the ratio Q of mass of adsorbing solid/mass of adsorbed pollutant (in g/mg) are measured. Experimental data are presented in the table below. These data are correlated using the following equation: where a and 8 are constants and: Cp is in mg/L Q is in g/mg a. Determine the units of oa and B in this equation: b. Appropriately transform the above equation using newly defined variables so that you can linearly regress the data visually to obtain the values of a and B. Cp (mg/L) Q (g/mg) 0.0049 1.3 0.0035 12.5 0.0027 75.2 0.0018 930.2
