Determine which statements are true and which are false. PAH is an acronym for polycyclic aromatic hydrogen. PAHs interact with a zeolite by intercalating into the pores. A zeolite sequcsters PAHs by the formation of permanent covalent bonds.

1st statement false, 2nd statement true & 3rd statement false .

Explanation:

The task is to determined which sentence is true or false

PAH is Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Hydrogen is wrong.

Intercalation – is the reversible insertion of a molecule between two others.

Zeolites are minerals such as aluminosilicates of sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium, that have a porous structure; they are used in water softeners and in ion exchange chromatography.

PAHs indeed interact with a zeolite by intercalating into the pores.

To sequester means to prevent an ion in solution from behaving normally by forming a coordination compound.

A zeolite doesn't sequesters PAHs by the formation of permanent covalent bonds but by forming a coordination compound.
