Best answer

Effect of pressure
Adsorption is a reversible process and is accompanied by a decrease in pressure.
Therefore, adsorption increases with an increase in pressure.
Effect of temperature
Adsorption is an exothermic process. Thus, in accordance with Le-Chatelier’s principle, the magnitude of adsorption decreases with an increase in temperature.
