Does diffusion occur more quickly in a gas than in a liquid? Why?
Diffusion: Diffusion is the process in which the movement of particles from higher concentration to that of lower concentration takes place. 1. The process of diffusion occurs more quickly in a gas than in a liquid. This is because the constituent particles in liquids move slowly compared to the particles in gases. 2. The particles in a gas posses higher kinetic energy and are moving with higher speed.
Diffusion occur more quickly in a gas because the space between the constituent particles in gases are higher than in liquids.
