Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
Adsorption is a surface phenomenon which can be expressed by means of an empirical relationship know as Freundlich Adsorption isotherm. The relationship given by \(\frac{x}{m} = Kp^{\frac{1}{n}}\ (n > 1)\)
x = Mass of the gas adsorbed
m = Mass of adsorbent
p = Pressure at which adsorption takes place
K and n are constant
GasCritical Temperature (in K)
\(\text{C}_2\text{H}_6\)210
\(\text{SO}_2\)630
\(\text{Cl}_2\)243
\(\text{H}_2\)33
On the basis of given data which one of the following gases shows maximum adsorption on a definite amount of charcoal?

  1. A \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_6\)
  2. B \(\text{SO}_2\)
  3. C \(\text{Cl}_2\)
  4. D \(\text{H}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\text{SO}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Higher critical temperature leads to greater adsorption. The highest critical temperature is for \( \text{SO}_2 \) (630 K). Maximum adsorption: \( \text{SO}_2 \)
