Explanation:

There are three states of matter: Solid, liquid and gas. With change in pressure and temperature, matter changes its state. A solid has closely packed particles while a liquid and gas have loosely packed constituent particles. An outside force either compresses or expands the packed matter which causes it to change the state. On compression, particles come closer and gas changes to liquid and liquid to gas where as on expansion, the solid turns to liquid and liquid to gas.

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?
miv72 [106K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

  • Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
  • Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
  • Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.
