Seems a bit odd why colour determines if it is absorved or not, doesn't it? My teacher could not answer this question.
Why activated carbon absorbs colored particles? Why colour matters?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the effectiveness of activated carbon in absorbing colored particles. It concludes that while color may influence the visibility of the absorption process, it does not affect the actual absorption capability of activated carbon for various molecules. The experiments conducted with colored substances are primarily for observational clarity rather than a reflection of the material's absorption properties.
