Question

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Activated charcoal adsorbs SO more efficiently than CH . 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. 2 4

(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 answer: C) A IS CORRECT BUT R IS NOT CORRECT.. More polar gases are easily adsorbed on activated charcoal and more polar gases have higher critical temperature as compared to non-polar or less polar gases. Therefore, gases with higher critical temperature, get adsorbed more. Hence, the assertion is correct but the reason is not correct.
