Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A :$ Activated charcoal adsorbs $SO_{2}$ more efficiently than $CH_{4}$.
Reason $R$ : 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.

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.

Which of the following is true for the adsorption of a gas on the surface of a solid?

Methylene blue,from its aqueous solution,is adsorbed on activated charcoal at $25 \ ^{\circ}C$. For this process,the correct statement is

Assertion $(A)$: The property of adsorption is shown to a greater extent by solids than liquids.
Reason $(R)$: Solids like charcoal and silica can act as good adsorbents.

For the adsorption of a gas on a solid,the plot of $\log(x/m)$ versus $\log P$ is linear with slope equal to

To form a complete monolayer of acetic acid on $1 \ g$ of charcoal,$100 \ mL$ of $0.5 \ M$ acetic acid was used. Some of the acetic acid remained unadsorbed. To neutralize the unadsorbed acetic acid,$40 \ mL$ of $1 \ M$ $NaOH$ solution was required. If each molecule of acetic acid occupies $P \times 10^{-23} \ m^2$ surface area on charcoal,the value of $P$ is $\qquad$
[Use given data : Surface area of charcoal $= 1.5 \times 10^2 \ m^2 \ g^{-1}$; Avogadro's number $(N_A) = 6.0 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$]
