Question

Of nh3 and co2 which gas will be adsorbed more readily on the surface of charcoal and why?

Answer 1

Solution:

Among CO2 and NH3, NH3 will be more readily absorbed on the surface of the charcoal.

This is because the critical temperature of ammonia gas is quite high than the carbon dioxide.

Hence, it easily combines with the materials than the carbon dioxide whether it is solid, liquid or any gases.

Answer 2

Answer:NH3

Explanation:

NH3 performs hydrogen bonding. But CO2 performs induced dipole induced dipole bond, which is less strong than hydrogen bonding. So the NH3 molecule has greater intermolecular force of attraction. As a result NH3 is readily adsorbed than CO2 because extent of adsorption depends on intermolecular force of attraction
