Indanthrone blue’s structure is provided below. This is just an example, and you will not be working with this dye.

Assuming the porous material from Question 1 had pore sizes suited ideally for methylene blue, would you expect it to adsorb indanthrone blue molecules if placed in a solution of indanthrone blue?

Accepted Answer

No, because indanthrone blue is larger than methylene blue and the cavity is not large enough to accommodate indanthrone blue

Answer

Yes, because there is no appreciable size difference between indanthrone blue and methylene blue

Answer

No, because it is not energetically favourable for indanthrone blue to be taken up from solution

Answer

Yes, but there would be a slower rate of uptake of indanthrone blue compared to methylene blue due to its larger size
