1.	NH3 , CO2 are readily adsorbed where as H2 , N2 are slowly adsorbed. Give reason.
Answer» 1. The nature of adsorbate can influence the adsorption. Gases like NH₃ CO₂ are easily liquefiable as have greater van der Waals forces of attraction and hence readily adsorbed due to high critical temperature. 2. But permanent gases like H₂ , N₂ can not be easily liquefied and having low critical temperature and adsorbed slowly.
