  1. Nitrogen, because the molecules are lighter and therefore they spread out quicker.
  2. To know the lighter objects we will check the molecular mass(Mr)by seeing the upper number in the periodictable

Because the molecules in nitrogen (N) are lighter, so they can spread out quicker in the space than carbon dioxide (CO2).

Nitrogen (N2) is faster because it is lighter (28 vs 44 g/mole)

and smaller (N=N vs O=C=O)

Why nitrogen gas diffuse faster at a higher temperature?

Molecules move faster at higher temps.


Why nitrogen diffuses faster in high temperature?

Higher temperatures mean more heat energy which translates into more kinetic energy of the molecules of nitrogen gas. This greater kinetic energy allows the molecules to diffuse faster than at a lower temperature and lower kinetic energy.


Is diffusion faster in summer or in winter?

i,m also trying to find this answer by a class 9 standard student but i will not tell u my name


Which will diffuse faster potassium permanganate or methylene blue?

potassium permanganate, KMnO4 is the smaller molecule so it will probably diffuse faster than methylene blue, C16H18N3SCl


Which would diffuse faster potassium permanganate at 0 degree celsius or at 100 degree celsius?

100 degree would probably diffuse faster than at 0 degree because 100 degree has a higher concentration


How does the pressure of affect the rate of diffusion?

The higher the pressure, the more easily a chemical diffuses. And seeing as pressure and temperature are directly related, the higher the temperature the more easily a chemical diffuses, and vice versa. This is caused by everything "wanting" to be equal, if there is a higher pressure, then it will diffuse to an area of lower pressure.


What effect does temperature have on osmosis?

The higher the temperature the faster diffusion occurs which in turn means that the process of osmosis becomes faster as the temperature rises.


How does the temperature affect how juice and water evaporate?

At higher temperature evaporation is faster.


Would you expect the particles in chlorine gas to diffuse faster or slower than the particles in argon gas?

The rate of diffusion of a gas depends on the weight of the gas molecules. The heavier the molecules, the slower they move - the lighter the molecules, the faster they move. Nitrogen molecules weigh about 28 units. Chlorine molecules weigh 71 units. So we would expect nitrogen to diffuse more quickly than chlorine.


Why would gases diffuse faster on a warm day than on a cold day?

The molecules of a gas move faster at higher temperatures, which therefore speeds up diffusion.


What effect does temperature increase has on osmosis?

The higher the temperature the faster diffusion occurs which in turn means that the process of osmosis becomes faster as the temperature rises.


Does water vapor evaporate faster when the air is cooler?

Evaporation is faster at a higher temperature.
