Is it true that solids can often diffuse into a liquid but cannot diffuse into another solid?

Yes
Diffusion is mainly gases property
Diffusion is shown also by liquids but much less than the gases
Liquids diffuse from solutions of higher concentration to solutions of lower concentration
So the driving force for the diffusion is concentration difference.
Rate of Diffusion depends on liquid`s viscosity,temperature etc.
depends on what is the liquid however. (oil and water dont)
examples
food coloring in water. liquid chocolate in milk.

∙ 12y agoYes, a liquid can diffuse through a solid, if the solid is porous, or if the solid is soluble in the liquid in question.

Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.
What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
How long does it take for solids to diffuse?
In your stomach 10 min
How can solids diffuse?
I'm not quite sure liquids diffuse. but gases do an example would be if something was burning in your house you would be able to smell it up the street. The particles move from a high to a low concentration. In other words move from a place where there are lots of the particles to a place where there isn't many of the particles to almost even it out. The particles have lots of space between them to move around. Bumping into each other they create kinetic energy. This means they are able to move around.
What is the difference between total dissolved solids and total suspended solids?
total dissolved solids is how much of the solid is dissolved in the liquid, while suspended total suspended solids is the amount of the solid floating in the liquid. e.g. if you had a solution with both and you filtered the solution then evaporated out the liquid, the solids that you filtered out would be the suspended solids, and the the solids remaining after evaporating the liquid out would be the disolved solids.
Why liquid diffuse faster than solids?
Because molecules in a liquid are not bound the way they are in solids and they can move freely so diffusion happens faster too.
What is diffusion in liquid and in gas?
Gases the most, then liquids. Solids generally don't diffuse.
Why do solids diffuse?
solids can diffuse but not in an easy way because they are to tightly packed together
Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.
Can solid diffuse into solids?
no
Why can liquid change but solids cannot?
The forces holding the atoms together are weaker in liquids than in solids -Apex
Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?
No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.
Is it true that the pipettes are used to transfer solids from one container to another?
Transfer pipettes, also called Pasteur pipettes, are used to transfer small quantities of liquid from one container to another. They cannot be used to move a specific volume, they are just used for approximations. The only time they would be used to transfer solids would be solids suspended in a liquid solution.
Is hot chocolate powder a solid or liquid?
All powders are solids. You cannot powder a liquid.
Is a soup a liquid a solid or a gas?
I would say that broth is a liquid, as it flows freely unless it is kept in a confined area. It isn't a gas as it cannot diffuse or change volume and isn't a solid unless frozen. the steam from hot broth could be a gas though...
Why distillation cannot be done with volatile solids dissolved in liquids?
The volatile solids will have a vapor pressure at the boiling point of the liquid which means some of that solid will vaporize and go thru the distillation process with the liquid. When condensed you will not get a pure liquid.
