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.
Solution
More polar gases easily adsorbs on activated charcoal.
<br/><br/>
And more polar gases has more (higher) critical temperature as compared to non-polar or less polar gases.
<br/><br/>
$\therefore$ Gases with higher critical temperature adsorbed more.
