Opals are an example of water diffusing into rock under enormous pressure and millions of years.

Why liquids diffuse much faster than solid?

The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of solid is greater than liquid and due to this minimum space is found between the particles of solid. That's why liquids diffuse much faster than solids.


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.

How fast dissolved the solid in a liquid?

The speed at which a solid dissolves in a liquid depends on factors such as the surface area of the solid, the temperature of the liquid, and the stirring/agitation of the mixture. Generally, smaller particles of solid will dissolve faster due to increased surface area for interaction. Additionally, higher temperatures and increased agitation can also speed up the dissolution process.


Is broth a liquid 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...


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.
