solids can diffuse but not in an easy way because they are to tightly packed together
What else can I help you with?
Can solid diffuse into solids?
no
Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?
No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.
What do you call a thin solids that allow certain substances to diffuse through them?
Semi-permeable membranes are thin solids that allow certain substances to diffuse through them while preventing the passage of others.
Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
No, liquids and solids do not diffuse as easily as gases due to their tightly packed molecular structure and lower kinetic energy. Diffusion in liquids is generally slower than in gases, but it can still occur over time. In solids, diffusion is even slower due to the rigid arrangement of molecules.
How long does it take for solids to diffuse?
The time it takes for solids to diffuse depends on various factors such as the size of the particles, temperature, concentration gradient, and the medium in which diffusion is taking place. In general, diffusion of solids can be a slow process compared to liquids or gases due to the limited movement of solid particles.
Why liquid diffuse faster than solids?
Because molecules in a liquid are not bound the way they are in solids and they can move freely so diffusion happens faster too.
Do gas diffuse?
by cooling
What do you mean by indiffusible solids?
Indiffusible solids are materials that do not easily allow substances to pass through or diffuse within them. This lack of diffusion can be due to the solid's structure, density, or impermeable nature. Materials like metals and certain ceramics are examples of indiffusible solids.
How can solids diffuse?
Solids can diffuse through a process called solid-state diffusion, where atoms or molecules migrate within the solid material without a change in the state of matter. Diffusion in solids usually happens at higher temperatures when there is enough thermal energy for atoms or molecules to move around. The rate of diffusion in solids is generally slower compared to liquids or gases.
Why do gases duffuse quickly but most solids do not?
Its down to the molecules in the substance, in gases they are not that close to each other so they can move around quicker and faster so hence diffuse quicker in solids or most they are that tight they can not move are as easily.
Which of the following diffuse faster - honey sugar nitrogen gas?
Nitrogen gas will diffuse the fastest because gases diffuse more rapidly than liquids or solids due to their higher molecular speeds and lack of intermolecular forces that impede diffusion. Honey and sugar are viscous liquids and will diffuse more slowly due to their higher molecular weight and stronger intermolecular forces.
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.
