Best Answer

The main reason a diffusion is so slow is because it is a passive process. It relies on the natural movement of molecules to function, and as such can take quite some time to complete.

What is the diffence in rate of diffusion hot and cold water?

Diffusion is a process which is affected by changes in temperature in the system where it is taking place. When the temperature is high, the rate of diffusion is high and when the temperature is low, the rate of diffusion is less.Hence, we can say that diffusion is directly proportional to temperature.Therefore, the answer to your question is that diffusion will be high in hot water and in cold water, it will be slow.
