Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion AA and the other is labelled as Reason RR.

Assertion AA : Activated charcoal adsorbs SO2{SO}_{2} more efficiently than CH4{CH}_{4}.

Reason RR : 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.

Options

  1. ABoth AA and RR are correct and RR is the correct explanation of AA.
  2. BBoth AA and RR are correct but RR is NOT the correct explanation of AA.
  3. CAA is correct but RR is not correct.
  4. DAA is not correct but RR is correct.

Correct answer

C. AA is correct but RR is not correct.

Step-by-step solution

Lesser the value of critical temperature of gases lesser will be the extent of adsorption.

Gas SO2{SO}_{2} CH4{CH}_{4}
Critical temperature/K 630630 190190

The critical temperature depends on the strength of the intermolecular interactions that hold a substance together as a liquid.

SO2{SO}_{2} has stronger intermolecular force of attractions than CH4{CH}_{4}, due to the more molar mass and non-zero dipole moment.

So, Activated charcoal adsorbs SO2{SO}_{2} more efficiently than CH4{CH}_{4}. is correct statement but Reason statement is not correct.
