Which will be adsorbed more readily on the surface of charcoal and why`-NH_(3)` or `CO_(2)`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`NH_3`has higher critical temperature than `CO_2` and therefore, it is more easily liquefiable. Hence, `NH_3` has greater intermolecular forces of attraction and will be adsorbed more readily.
