Assertion (A) The property of adsorption is shown to a great extent by solids than liquids. Reason (R) Solids like charcoal, silica can act as good adsorbents.
Options
- AA and R are correct and R is the correct explanation for A .
- BA and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation for A .
- CA is correct but R is incorrect.
- DA is incorrect but R is correct.
Correct answer
B. A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation for A .
Step-by-step solution
Both Assertion and Reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. The property of adsorption is shown to a great extent by solids than liquids as extent of adsorption increases with surface area of adsorbent. Solids like charcoal, silica can act as good absorbents because of increased surface area.
