Question

Assertion: $SO_{2(g)}$ is adsorbed to a larger extent than $H_{2(g)}$ on activated charcoal. 
Reason: $SO_{2(g)}$ has a higher critical temperature than $H_{2(g)}$.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Higher critical temperature implies stronger intermolecular forces, leading to greater adsorption extent.
