Question

Assertion A: Activated charcoal adsorbs $SO_2$ more efficiently than $CH_4$.
 Reason R: Gases with lower critical temperature are readily adsorbed by activated charcoal.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

A is correct because $SO_2$ has a higher critical temperature than $CH_4$. R is incorrect because gases with HIGHER critical temperatures are adsorbed more readily.
