Given
Gas H2 CH4 CO2 SO2
Critical 33 190 304 630
Temperature/K
On the basis of data given above, predict which of the following gases shows least adsorption on a definite amount of charcoal?
Select the correct option:
A
$\mathrm{SO}_2$
B
$\mathrm{CO}_2$
C
$\mathrm{CH}_4$
D
$$ \mathrm{H}_2 $$
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
More easily liquefiable a gas is (i.e. having higher critical temperature), the more readily it will be adsorbed.
∴ Least adsorption is shown by $\mathrm{H}_2$ (least critical temperature)
