Pick out the wrong statement. Generally for physical adsorption, a gas of

Higher molecular weight is adsorbed in preference to a gas of low molecular weight
High critical temperature is adsorbed in preference to a gas of low critical temperature
Low volatility is adsorbed in preference to a gas of high volatility
None of these
✅ The correct answer is option D.

Polar organic compounds are normally used as separating agents for the azeotropic and extractive distillation. Which of the following is the most important factor to be considered for the choice of the separating agent for extractive distillation?

Cost
Availability
Toxicity
Selectivity
✅ The correct answer is option D.

Out of two equilibrium curves, first one lies above the diagonal and the second lies below the diagonal in the x-y plot. It means that separation by distillation is

Not possible in the second case unless vacuum is applied
Not possible in the second case unless high pressure is applied
More readily done in the second case compared to first one
None of these
✅ The correct answer is option C.
