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 temperature affect the vapor pressure of a liquid?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

As the temperature of a liquid increases, the kinetic energy of its molecules also increases. As the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, the number of molecules transitioning into a vapor also increases, thereby increasing the vapor pressure.
