Given below are two statement : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$ .
Assertion $A: {SO}_{2} ( g )$ is adsorbed to a large extent than ${H}_{2} ( g )$ on activated charcoal.

Reason $R$ : ${SO}_{2} ( g )$ has a higher critical temperature than ${H}_{2} ( g )$

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Options

ABoth $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the
correct explanation fo $A$
BBoth $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct
explanation of $A$ .
C $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct.
D $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.

Correct answer

B. Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct
explanation of $A$ .

Step-by-step solution

Gases having higher critical temperatures have greater extent of intermolecular force of attractions and those gases readily adsorb on the activated charcoal.
