Diffusion is the spread of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion can occur in gas or liquid.
Dissolving occurs when one substance, the solvent, supports the particles of another substance, the solute, to form a solution. The two processes are similar.
Example:
Sugar in the bottom of a cup of coffee will slowly diffuse into the bottom of the cup dissolving as it goes. When we stir the coffee we make the process faster and the dissolving is uniform without a higher concentration at the bottom of the cup.
Perfume or petrol (gasoline) in a container in the corner of the room will slowly diffuse out and we can smell it even when we are not next to the container. Again the concentration is higher the closer we are to the container.

What is the difference between bulk motion and diffusion?
The difference between the two is that bulk motion is the flow through the capillary. Diffusion is the movement of the molecules in a fluid.Ê
What is the relationship of the partial pressure of a gas and its diffusion rate?
The higher the pressure, the more easily a chemical diffuses. And seeing as pressure and temperature are directly related, the higher the temperature the more easily a chemical diffuses, and vice versa. This is caused by everything "wanting" to be equal, if there is a higher pressure, then it will diffuse to an area of lower pressure.
Difference between molecular motion and diffusion?
It triggers diffusion because diffusion is the movement of molecules, therefore as soon as the molecules move diffusion begins to do it's job. It will take them from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration.
Describe the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
although both are the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low, diffusion is the movement of many kinds of substances however osmosis refers to the diffusion of water particles only from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What is difference between cro and dso?
difference between cro and powerscope?
What is the difference between dilution and diffusion?
what is the difference between a diffusion and a dilution
What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
What is the difference between dilute and dilution?
what is the difference between a diffusion and a dilution
What is the difference between diffusion and us-moss?
osmosses is diffusion of water only
What is the difference between bulk motion and diffusion?

What is the difference between relocation and expansion diffusion?
Expansion diffusion means that the diffusion expands in the area you are in. Relocation diffusion is when you have spread something where you are, and then move(relocate) somewhere else, spreading it there as well.
What is the difference between a bed load and a dissolve load?
nada
What is the difference between identity achievement and identity diffusion?
achievement you understand who u are as diffusion u dont know who u are
What is the difference between soluable and insoluble fiber?
Soluble means it can dissolve insoluble means it can't dissolve
What controls the rate of diffusion?
The rate of diffusion is directly related to the concentration of gradient. For example, the greater the amount between the concentration of the areas, the greater the greater to difference in diffusion.
What is the difference between dissolve oxygen and oxygen?
Dissolve oxygen is when oxygen is dissolved and oxygen is just normal oxygen!
What is the difference between passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
Passive diffusion is what naturally happens without any assistance of any sort. Facilitated diffusion requires extra energy from extra sources to happen.
