Which among the following gases is adsorbed to greater extent at similar conditions of temperature and pressure if the adsorbent remains same?
  1. $\mathrm{N}_2$
  2. $\mathrm{Cl}_2$
  3. $\mathrm{H}_2$
  4. $\mathrm{O}_2$

Solution

- Gas having higher critical temperature is adsorbed to greater extent. $\begin{array}{llll}\mathrm{H}_2 & 33.145 \mathrm{~K} & \mathrm{O}_2 & 154.60 \mathrm{~K} \\ \mathrm{~N}_2 & 126.19 \mathrm{~K} & \mathrm{Cl}_2 & 417 \mathrm{~K}\end{array}$
