    1) false; PAH is acronym for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, not for polycyclic aromatic hydrogen.

    2) true; PAHs interact with a zeolite by intercalating into the pores

    3) false; A zeolite sequesters 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.
