Question

Explain how the following factors affect the rate of diffusion:
a)Temperature
b)Kinetic energy of particles
c)Density of the substance

Answer 1

Dear student,

The rate of diffusion increases on increasing the temperature and kinetic energy of the particles this due to the fact that on insreasing the temperature the kinetic energy of the particles will also increase as a result the rate of intermixing of particles will also increase as the particles lying more away from each other .
the rate of diffusion decreases on increasing the density of the particles.
