What will be the effect of temperature on the rate of diffusion?

Open in App

Solution

If we increase the temperature, the particles of matter gain energy and start moving freely. Therefore, the diffusion of particles will increase.

On the contrary, if we decrease the temperature, the particles of matter will lose energy and their movement will be less. Therefore, the diffusion of particles will decrease.
