The answer is yes. The classic experiment is the diffusion of solid gold into solid lead. The first reference below, from Nature in 1925, discusses this phenomenon and suggests that the rate of diffusion is about 100,000 times slower than the rate of diffusion of sodium chloride in water. I have given some other more modern references.

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.


Nutrients diffuse quickly through cartilage matrix but very poorly through solid bone matrix true or false?

True. Cartilage matrix is avascular and has a high water content, allowing nutrients to diffuse quickly. In contrast, bone matrix is solid and less permeable, so nutrients diffuse less efficiently through it.


Can a liquid diffuse into a solid?

Opals are an example of water diffusing into rock under enormous pressure and millions of years.


What two properties does a solid compound will not have?

1-solids do not flow.2- they do not diffuse.


Why doesn't the particles of a solid diffuse?

Usually it's because the particles are too tightly compacted and have no room to move around as liuqids or gases do.


Is it true that solids can often diffuse into a liquid but cannot diffuse into another solid?

Yes Diffusion is mainly gases property Diffusion is shown also by liquids but much less than the gases Liquids diffuse from solutions of higher concentration to solutions of lower concentration So the driving force for the diffusion is concentration difference. Rate of Diffusion depends on liquid`s viscosity,temperature etc. depends on what is the liquid however. (oil and water dont) examples food coloring in water. liquid chocolate in milk.

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.

How fast dissolved the solid in a liquid?

The speed at which a solid dissolves in a liquid depends on factors such as the surface area of the solid, the temperature of the liquid, and the stirring/agitation of the mixture. Generally, smaller particles of solid will dissolve faster due to increased surface area for interaction. Additionally, higher temperatures and increased agitation can also speed up the dissolution process.
