As we learnt in
Stoichiometry -
Stoichiometry deals with measurements of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
- wherein
aA (g) + bB (g) → cC (g) + dD (g)
Here, ‘a’ moles of A(g) reacts with ‘b’ moles of B(g) to give ‘c’ mole of C(g) and ‘d’ moles of D(g)
From the equation. We see that 2 moles of Resin require 1 Mole
Molecular weight of resin is 206.
412 gm of resin require 1 Mole
Maximum uptake of
is
