Detailed Solution

Adsorption is exothermic process but reverse process i.e., desorption is endothermic. An increase in temperature will favour the desorption process because molecules of the adsorbate get energy and leave the surface so rate of adsorption decreases with increase in temperature.

Increase in amount of adsorption in solution as amount. As amount of adsorbate in the solution increases interaction of adsorbate with adsorbent increase which led to increase in extent of adsorption.
