cdquestions Admin · Accepted Answer

The extent of adsorption of a gas on activated charcoal increases with the critical temperature of the gas. The critical temperature is the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of pressure. Gases with higher critical temperatures are more easily liquefied and are adsorbed to a greater extent. Given the critical temperatures: - Methane: 190K - Ammonia: 405K - Carbon dioxide: 304K - n-Butane: 425K - Dihydrogen: 33K Among these, n-butane has the highest critical temperature (425K), which means it is the gas that will be adsorbed to the maximum extent on activated charcoal at a given temperature. The correct option is (D) : n-butane
