Given below are two statements. One is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.
Assertion A : Activated charcoal adsorbs $\mathrm{SO}_2$ more efficiently than $\mathrm{CH}_4$.
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.
Select the correct option:
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.
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
$\mathrm{SO}_2$ is absorbed to a greater extent than $\mathrm{CH}_4$ on activated charcoal under same conditions. Gases with higher critical temperature are readily absorbed by activated charcoal.
