Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason .
Assertion : Activated charcoal adsorbs more efficiently than .
Reason : 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
- ABoth and are correct and is the correct explanation of .
- BBoth and are correct but is NOT the correct explanation of .
- C is correct but is not correct.
- D is not correct but is correct.
Correct answer
C. is correct but is not correct.
Step-by-step solution
Lesser the value of critical temperature of gases lesser will be the extent of adsorption.
Gas Critical temperature/K The critical temperature depends on the strength of the intermolecular interactions that hold a substance together as a liquid.
has stronger intermolecular force of attractions than , due to the more molar mass and non-zero dipole moment.
So, Activated charcoal adsorbs more efficiently than . is correct statement but Reason statement is not correct.
