Why rate of diffusion of liquid in another liquid is greater than the rate of diffusion of a solid in a liquid

Solution

Dear student,
The rate of diffusion is higher in liquids than in case of solids because in liquids there are large intermolecular spaces compared to solids and also a higher kinetic energy therefore the liquids molecules can move acrosss each other and diffuse faster compared to solids.
