Why do gases diffuse faster than liquids? Gas particles have more kinetic energy a liquid does not have as many particles liquid

s have less volume to diffuse through liquids have more pressure to overcome when diffusing

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Particles of a gas are held by weak Vander waal forces due to which they have more kinetic energy. This leads to more number of collisions between gas particles.

As a result, gases readily diffuse in their surroundings.

On the other hand, molecules of a liquid are more closer as compared to molecules of a gas. So, they have less kinetic energy as compared to gas molecules. Hence, liquids are not able to diffuse into their surroundings.

Thus, we can conclude that gases diffuse faster than liquids because gas particles have more kinetic energy.

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?
saw5 [17]
Answer:
             There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
                   This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.
