Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

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

Assertion A: Amongst $\mathrm{He}, \mathrm{Ne}, \mathrm{Ar}$ and $\mathrm{Kr}$; 1$\mathrm{g}$ of activated charcoal adsorbs more of $\mathrm{Kr}$.

Reason R: The critical volume $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)$ and critical pressure $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{c}}$ (atm) is highest for Krypton but the compressibility factor at critical point $\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{c}}$ is lowest for Krypton.

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

  1. A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. B A is false but R is true
  3. C Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
  4. D A is true but R is false Correct answer

Solution

MW order, $\mathrm{Kr}>\mathrm{Ar}>\mathrm{Ne}>\mathrm{He}$ <br/><br/>$Z$ (at critical point) $=\frac{3}{8}$
