Why does 1g of activated charcoal adsorb more sulphur dioxide than methane?
Options
- AMethane has a higher critical temperature.
- BSulphur dioxide has a higher critical temperature.
- CMethane has a lower critical temperature.
- DSulphur dioxide has a lower critical temperature.
Correct answer
B. Sulphur dioxide has a higher critical temperature.
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph mentions that activated charcoal adsorbs more sulphur dioxide than methane, and it explains that easily liquefiable gases with higher critical temperatures are more readily adsorbed.
