Question

Define diffusion and state the effect of temperature on diffusion.

Open in App
Solution

The phenomenon of intermixing particles of one kind with another kind is called diffusion.
The particles will mix until they are evenly distributed.
When the temperature increases, the rate of diffusion also increases.
At higher temperature, particles have high kinetic energy and move faster hence they diffuse more rapidly.
