Q5 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

Given below are two statement : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A:SO2( g) is adsorbed to a large extent than H2( g) on activated charcoal.

Reason R : SO2( g) has a higher critical temperature than H2( g)

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

  • A
    Both A and R are correct but R is not the
    correct explanation fo A
  • Correct answer
    B
    Both 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.

Solution

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

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
