Solution

Dear Student,
Diffusion is the movement of solute particles in a solution from higher solute concentration area towards area of lower solute concentration.

High concentration means the amount of solute is high in the solution and low concentration means it is low.

Amount of solvent is high in low concentration and low in high concentration of solute.
