Assertion A : SO2(g) is adsorbed to a large extent than H2(g) on activated charcoal.

Question

Given below are two statement : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. 

Assertion A : SO₂(g) is adsorbed to a large extent than H₂(g) on activated charcoal. 

Reason R : SO₂(g) has a higher critical temperature than H₂(g). In the light of the above statements, 

choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below. 

(1) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

(2) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. 

(3) A is not correct but R is correct.

(4) A is correct but R is not correct.

Answer 1

Answer is : (2) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Gases having higher critical temperature absorb to a greater extent.
