Options

  1. AIncrease in concentration of acid in solution
  2. BDecrease in concentration of acid in solution
  3. CNo change in concentration of acid in solution
  4. DFormation of a precipitate in solution

Correct answer

B. Decrease in concentration of acid in solution

Step-by-step solution

The paragraph mentions that when a solution of acetic acid in water is shaken with charcoal, a part of the acid is adsorbed by the charcoal, leading to a decrease in the concentration of the acid in the solution.
