Out of NH3 and N2 which gas will be adsorbed more readily on the surface of charcoal and why?

Answer:

This can be explained as the higher the critical temperture the more easily gas is liquified that is larger the vander waal's force of attraction and hence more readily it will be adsorbed.
NH3 gas has higher critical temperature than N2
thus NH3 adsorbed more readily on the surface of charcoal.
