On the basis of data given above, predict which of the following gases shows the least adsorption on a definite amount of charcoal?

Options

  1. ACH4{CH}_{4}
  2. BCO2{CO}_{2}
  3. CSO2{SO}_{2}
  4. DH2{H}_{2}

Correct answer

D. H2{H}_{2}

Step-by-step solution

Method 11:
The extent of adsorption is directly proportional to the critical temperature. As H2{H}_{2} has the lowest critical temperature, it will have the lowest extent of adsorption.

Method 22:
The value of adsorption is dependent on the intermolecular forces of attraction. Among the given options, H2{H}_{2} will have the weakest van der Waal's force (London Dispersion), in which only 22 electrons are involved.

Hence, as a force of attraction is the weakest for H2,{H}_{2}, it will have the lowest adsorption value.
