It can. If you put an open bottle of perfume on the table, you'll be able to smell it at a distance after some time, because the perfume vapors--a gas--have diffused into the air.
Yes, it happens all the time.
nope !
No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles
gases diffuse faster than liquids.. bcoz atoms r free and r not bounded.......
The atomic bonds of gas particles are much weaker than that of liquids, allowing them to diffuse faster
H2 will diffuse fastest as it has the least molecular weight.
According to Graham's Law, diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of that gas. Put another way, the heavier the gas, the slower it will diffuse. CO is 28; SO2 is 64; NO2 is 46; O3 is 48. So the slowest to diffuse would be SO2.
Bromine is a liquid, so chlorine, as a gas, will diffuse faster.

Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.

Gases will naturally diffuse away, however more will diffuse back. Compression will decrease the amount of gas trapped at any one time.
