What is the effect of the density of liquid on the rate of diffusion?

The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion. There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.


How do temperature effect the rate of diffusion?

higher temp = higher rate of diffusion

How does the rate of diffusion in a gelatin at room temperature compare with the rate of diffusion in water at the same temperature?

The rate of diffusion in gelatin at room temperature is very slow. This is especially compared to the rate of diffusion in water at the same temperature.


What is diffusion rate proportional to?

rate of diffusion depends on the concentration gradient, surface area, distance over which diffusion takes place, size and nature of the diffusing molecule.


What condition does diffusion lead in the absence of other influences?

Why diffusion is maximum in gases?

rate of diffusion is inversely proposnal to density, density of gas is less. so diffusion rate is high
