1
Q
What factors affect the rate of diffusion?
A
- temperature
- state
- mass of particle
2
Q
The lighter the particle………?
A
…… the quicker it diffuses
3
Q
Does diffusion increase or decrease with a higher temperature?
A
increase
4
Q
In which state does diffusion occur fastest in and why?
A
A vacuum because there are no air particles to collide with otw
5
Q
In which state does diffusion occur slowest in and why?
A
Solids because the particles are closely packed and dense, therefore hard to diffuse through
