Question

b-Endosulfan is an organic insecticide commonly used on vegetables and
ornamental flowers. A carbon adsorption test was performed to evaluate adsorption of bEndosulfan to activated carbon. The data from the test are listed in the table below. The initial b-Endosulfan concentration for the test was 0.082 mg/L. The flask volume was 250 mL (0.25 L).


a. Calculate the Langmuir constants.
