The higher the viscosity, the slower the rate of diffusion. Think of a liquid trying to diffuse through a plate of water (low viscosity) versus a liquid trying to diffuse through a plate of agar (high viscosity)
Imagine when molecules are with a high viscosty.
Their body surfaces will be very sticky enough to attract a majority of the surrounding molecules. However, when the surfaces are less sticky, less foreign particles attracted on to its surfaces. When molecules are surrounded by less foreign molecules, they will move faster across a fixed volume per unit of time. Therefore, the lower their viscosity is, the shorter they take to get through a certain volume of the medium they are in. This results in a greater rate of diffusion per unit volume and time ( MORE RAPID diffusion maintained!).
I hope this is clear enough so you can understand the concepts!
Objects/substances that are higher in density take longer to diffuse than objects/substances with lower density. For example honey in water, or alcohol in water, alcohol is less dense than honey and therefore it diffuses quickly into the water.
as density increases, rate of diffusion decreases
Rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the density of gas or liquid and is directly proportional to the temperature. A more dense liquid or gas will diffuse slowly. When the temperature rises, the energy of molecules increases and they move faster so diffusion is faster.
The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion.
There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.
yes.viscosity effect the diffusion.when more viscosity,then less diffusion and vice versa.
The rate of diffusion is higher at high temperature.
diffusion, its annoying :) m.kk
I'm pretty sure it would slow down the rate of diffusion, because higher tempuratures increase the rate of diffusion.
rate of diffusion depends on the concentration gradient, surface area, distance over which diffusion takes place, size and nature of the diffusing molecule.
Pressure increases the rate of diffusion. As the pressure on the membrane increase, attempts to enter the lower concentration increase, speeding the diffusion rate.
Molecular Diffusion Of Light
the factors which affect rate of diffusion is the factors that mixing one substance to another.
diffusion, its annoying :) m.kk
A change in medium water to Gelatin would affect the rate of diffusion dramatically. The change from water to gelatin would slow down the rate of diffusion.

In general they don't.
Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.
The rate of diffusion increases with temperature. The rate of diffusion also increases with the concentration gradient and the surface area.
The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.
Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.
Two factors which determine the rate of diffusion of a liquid in another liquid include temperature and particle size. The higher the temperature, the faster diffusion takes place, and the smaller the particle, the faster diffusion takes place.
The temperature and the silica content will both affect the viscosity of lave which will in turn affect the flow rate (whereby the lower the temperature and the higher the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lower the flow rate).
Yes agitation can affect the rate of diffusion.
