adsorption is processs of accumulation of liquid/gases on solid
surface. reversible adsorption is seen in physical adsorption where
increase in pressure increases the adsorption and decrease in
pressure decrease adsorption of molecules to surface that is
desorption takes place

yes it does...even though physical adsorption is an exothermic
reaction, its enthalpy of adsorption is pretty low aroun 20 to 40
kJ/mol

Adsorption is a very similar word to absorption but they are not
the same thing really. Adsorption can be used to rid methane smells
and such where absorption is what a sponge does to water.
