Because Critical temperature for ammonia is 403k whereas for nitrogen it is 126.5k. ... Ammonia molecules are hydrogen bonded with each other whereas N2 is bonded with less force of attraction.

The amount of gas adsorbed depends upon the nature of the gas. A gas ar higher critical temperature i.e a more easily liquefiable gas to a great extent. Critical temperature for ammonia is 403k whereas for nitrogen it is 126.5k.

In terms of vander waals forces, the substance with higher vander waals forces of attraction is more easily adsorbed. Ammonia molecules are hydrogen bonded with each other whereas N2 is bonded with less force of attraction.

HENCE,NH3 has higher critical point and highr vander waals forces its is more easily absorbed by charchol than N2.
