Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : Activated charcoal adsorbs SO2 more efficiently than CH4.

Reason R : Gases with lower critical temperatures are readily adsorbed by activated charcoal.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • C A is correct but R is not correct.
  • D A is not correct but R is correct.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

More polar gases easily adsorbs on activated charcoal.

And more polar gases has more (higher) critical temperature as compared to non-polar or less polar gases.

∴\therefore Gases with higher critical temperature adsorbed more.
