Whenever a mixture of gases is allowed to come in contact with a particular adsorbent under the same conditions, the more strong adsorbate is adsorbed to greater extent irrespective of its amount present, e.g., `H_(2)O` is adsorbed to more extent on silica gel than `N_(2)` and `O_(2)`. This shows that some adsorbates are preferentially adsorbed. It is also observed that preferentially adsorbable adsorbent can displace a weakly adsorbed substance from the surface of an adsorbent. Preferential adsorption depends on strength of attraction, surface area, polar nature and other factors. Which of the following isomer of `C_(6)H_(14)` is adsorbed to maximum extent?A. Normal hexaneB. Neo-hexaneC. Iso-hexaneD. 3-Methyl pentane
