Effect of temperature: Since physical adsorption is an exothermic process, it occurs more readily at lower temperatures and decreases with increase in temperature (Le-Chatelier's Principle).

* Effect of pressure: In case of physisorption of gases over solids, the extent of adsorption increases with increase in pressure as the volume of the gases decrease during adsorption (Le-Chatelier's Principle).
