Why does physisorption decrease with the increase of temperature?

Solution
Physisorption is exothermic in nature:
\[\ce{\underset{(Adsobent) (Adsobate)}{Solid + Gas}⇌\underset{(Gas adsorbed on solid)}{Gas/Solid + Heat}}\]
In accordance with Le Chatelier’s principle, physisorption decreases with an increase in temperature. Because the equilibrium will shift in the backward direction, gas will be released from the adsorbed surface.
