Question

Diffusion occurs faster in gases than in liquids because _____.

Answer 1

The correct answer to go in the blank would be A) The particles are moving faster.

Answer 2

Answer:

the particles are moving faster

Explanation:

As we know that diffusion means the rate of escape of gas from small opening.

So here the diffusion rate is basically related to the speed of gas molecules to escape out of the closed container.

So here rate of diffusion is given as

$Rate = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}}$

so it depends on pressure of gas and density of gas.

Also we know that gas molecules are loosely bounded to each other as we compare the bonding between molecules of liquid.

So here we will say that correct answer is

the particles are moving faster
