JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 27th July Morning Shift - No. 4)

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.

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
A is correct but R is not correct.
A is not correct but R is correct.

Explanation

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.
