Why do gas diffuse very fast?

Solution

The kinetic energy of the particles is very high in the vapour state, these particles readily mix up with the particles of Air. Gases intermolecular space is very high as compared to solid and liquids. Due to this reason, the molecules of gas moves at a faster rate, hence making the diffusion rate faster.
