What is the most important factor in explaining why diffusion occurs spontaneously?

the process of diffusion is when molecules of any substance spread out into available space. because diffusion always occurs moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration it is said to be moving down its concentration gradient and therefore no work must be done to move the substance. Because no work is being done, diffusion decreases free energy therefore making it a spontaneous process.

∙ 13y agoThe definition of diffusion is this that, the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.There is no requirement of energy for this motion, since it is a spontaneous process.Thus diffusion is a passive process.

What factor affects the rate of diffusion?
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.
